Newfound hen

Yeah I think she’s pretty young too. She picked her spot to roost in the run at night and seems to really like it there. I have a prefab coop so it’d be hard for them to get away. I have 8 chicks
4 adopted cuckoo marans (1 potential Roo) 7 week crew, 2 brahmas & 2 orpintons-4 week crew. Hoping it gets better because I’d love for them to all be together. She seems to be doing well just a bit funky but her poop is very liquidy and clear so idk

That'll be a good mix if you ask me. If you have a rooster he'll be "top dog," and next or if not, it'll be between her and Brahmas but Maran's will be her equal and Orps will be her minions, lol. Just a prediction. Shes probably/hopefully not used to having plenty of water and just drinking alot. I wouldn't worry about the poo for now but keep your eyes open for worms. And that being said, in 20years I've never had worm issues, just seems you read about it alot on BYC.

Thank you, lol it’ll be interesting to all watch it unfold. And will do!

How big is coop...dimensions and pics?
That could get pretty hairy come winter.

It’s not big the livable space (nesting boxes included) 7.8ft². I didn’t plan on getting so many chickens lol. But I do plan on getting another coop soon. Still sounding kinda hairy? If so I’m open to ideas
