Gender and Age

[Mamatomany123]

Yes I did the coop based on 4 sq ft for each chicken. The house is a little bit smaller but the run is bigger than the minimum.
You have to convert 4 sq ft to square meters = 0.3 sq meters/ chicken

Are you basing the run off of 4sq ft? Because the run needs 10 sq ft per chicken. It's too small

I did. It is too small for the number of birds and is likely the reason they are picking on each other.

They were picking before when they were still in the smaller house. Now I’m not seeing or hearing them pick each other and it was just one chicken that was picking.
Btw what do you think of the gender of the chickens in the picture I sent you dear?

What do you mean basing the sun off

Sorry for the late reply.
These are all the pictures of 7 chickens.

From the new pics, the first 2 are cockerels.

Today one chicken died the one that has no feather on its head. Should I be concerned for the others?

I completely agree with Overo Mare

I’m certainly no chicken expert, but the size of that coop area is unacceptable for 7 chickens. I personally wouldn’t put more than 2 in an area that small, but I could see someone making them really cramped with 4. I would be very concerned for all of your chickens. They won’t be able to move when they are full grown. Have you seen how big a full grown rooster is? It doesn’t matter the sex of these chickens at this point. The focus should be on providing adequate room for them to be happy chickens! Do you have any room to expand the area, or can you re-home a few of them? Also, is there shade for them all day? Where I live, it is starting to get very hot, and my chickens would die in the setup you have on a hot day if they weren’t beneath some trees.

I said in the beginning that the barred pullet looked ill. Which bird did you lose?

Their setup is too small. I'm not saying that's why you lost one, but I guarantee thats why they're cannibalizing each other.

Is the run built to the specs that it's giving each chicken 4 sq ft?idid the calculations.

And what is that big pool under the house? It's taking up space which makes the run space even smaller.

240x100 cm lower deck
100x120 cm upper deck
House 100x80x90 cm

Converting centimeters to feet you have 8.6 sq.ft. in the coop and 38.3 sq.ft. in the run. Taking into consideration the recommendation of at least 4 sq.ft. per bird in the coop and 10 sq.ft. per bird in the run the coop is large enough for two birds and the run is large enough for three (maybe four) birds.
