Lol of course we already have 3 roosters and we have 4 named; Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo because Jurassic world lol... 4 Roos and 28 hens hmm is it's doable if all Roos are bantam

That's definitely doable as long as they have space to get away from each other.

All the space I got

All the space I got

That is not a ton of space 28 hens AND 4 cockerels. Honestly, looks a little small for 28 hens...
Not many places for the low ranking guys to get out of sight.

Any ideas or suggestions of what I could add that would help that issue right now there is a clear pecking order with the cockerels and they'll all stay small if I have to I do have a backup plan I just hope to be able to keep them together a lot of them are quite bonded

Here's additional pics so u can see everything

I do plan on another roost I'm just trying to think of how without drilling into the plywood wall

I do want to do something with the run where they can jump on stuff and climb and more so they won't be bored and can exercise

No the brown , we thought the white was a pullet ? What do you think ?

Addition shelters would be a good start. Lean-tos constructed out of branches or scrap wood can provide hiding spots and shade. The goal should be to break up sightlines. And you don't want to add anything that might create a 'trap' with only one way in.

Ok so shelters with multiple exits... I think I got some good ideas thank you

It would be good if you could post some new pics so we could get a better look. Full standing side view and a close comb shot are the best.

I know this is a girl but part of my gut is second guessing 9 almost 10 weeks

19 week old. Confused. Comb 3 weeks ago was 1/3 of this. It acts like a pullet yet looking at it the chook reminds me of a rooster.
