First night in the coop

Ok well tonight’s the night. I am so nervous that they’re too cold. But the thermometer says 70 in there so I think they should be fine. Also when do they learn to roost? I attached pictures in case anyone has any constructive criticism! Thank you

Oh that looks gorgeous! very lucky babies, and I'm sure they'll be nice and toasty out there. Also, roosting comes naturally to them. My little 1 to 2 week old chicks are already pros at it lol.

Looks like a nice setup, and great for a hotter climate! You don't need the heat lamp, really... remove it so you're not tempted to turn it on again. 70 is quite warm and the chicks have a good amount of feathers already.

I guess only question about your set up since it's a bit hard to tell is, how far apart and steeply angled is your roost ladder? Most likely once they learn to roost they'll go to the very top, but just in case... you want to make sure each rung is at least 12" out from the one above, so no bird sleeping on a lower rung gets pooped on from above.

Beautiful little coop! Tile floor, such swanky chickens!!! lol Easy to clean!
It's very cozy, I'd be happy there if I was a chicken!
