Right now the Cochins, Silkies, and Cornish have their own single pen, but my mom said she wants to get more of the pens we got for them, so maybe in the future there will be different breeding groups!

Ok, so that's 3 pens? I'm planning on making a few attached breeding pens that go 2m by 3m and are 3m high. It should hopefully look something like this photo I found from Pinterest. I think I would make 3 to 4 pens for some small to medium breeds like Silkies, Auam Cemanis, Silver laced Wyandottes, and possibly Lakenvelders as a fourth breed. And like in the photo one or two smaller pens for quail or maybe even pheasants! I really like talking to other breeders!

Wow, that sucks. Coops are really expensive. My dad has pretty much unlimited wood so I'm gonna start building coops for my cochins. I would start building next year, but I don't have any other coops to put any new cockerels I will get, and I don't want them to fight their dad or each other and potentially get hurt or worse.

Here are some ideas I've seen for dealing with extra roosters (the last ones a joke)

Do your cochins stay warm enough? I got to go to Nebraska this March/April with my sheep breeder/mentor. It was cold enough that the lambs in the trailer's bucket had ice in it but what made it bad was the wind. I thought I felt like I was going to die lol I have never been so cold. I can only imagine what the middle of winter is like
