Lone chicken?

[AlexEve]

Need good ventilation all year around....makes a coop 'holding heat' moot.
Their feathers hold their heat to stay warm,
they need fresh air and a way for the moist ammonia laden air to escape the coop

Is that windchill or ambient temp?

I have large openings on top of the roof that allow for proper ventilation and can be covered up partially during the winter. I live near Calgary Alberta where -20 is usually ambient temp in winter months. I’ll get right to the profile thing!

Please, please, please, don't use a crow collar! They are cruel and the rooster will not be happy.

After doing a bit of research, I’ve decided not to as the roosters in some vids sure don’t sound happy

That is the greatest news I've heard all day! Don't listen to the people who say they are humane, etc.....they are not!

Alright, I've personally never considered one, I like the way my roo sounds. I was just telling you the reviews I saw, and the product description, they claim to have improved the design as to not harm the roo, again, never tried one.

I would put the chicks in much sooner, put a little barrier between them, and your pullet won't be alone. She will peck at them if you just put them in there, but within days, she will be fine with them.
