My name is Sissy. I am helping my 11 yr old nephew lern to be responsible for his chickens. He also has a Brindle Pit Bull. He has 1 Rooster and 2 Hens, that he brought home in November 2020. The girls are going to be 1st time Moms in a few days. I want to teach him the right way to tend them. Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
Hello again, Sissy.
You need more hens for the rooster or rehome the rooster.
How big is the coop and run?
What are they eating?
Everyone should be on chick starter, Flock Raiser or All Flock. Put out oyster shell in a separate container when the chicks are 6 to 7 weeks old for the hens. I would feed this way permanently.

The main coop is 4'9"×3'6"×24" high. I made a run area outside of it that is 6'×6'×3'. I have Wire across the top of 1/2 the run & a cloth over the other 1/2. The coop is fully enclosed with chicken wire and has a hinged door w/latch. I put the nesting boxes (attached outside) the coop for more space inside. I will try to add 2 photos.
