Hello there and welcome to BYC!

You have some nice breeds of chicken! Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
you might want to invest in some 1/2" HC and at a minimum secure your coop. You would also do better to have a 4' high strip along the bottom of the run too.

I had Barred rocks, Dominiques and Gold laced Wyandottes at one time or another this year, but only while they were small. Welcome home to BYC and ask these folks anything, they have no problem giving their opinions and experiences...

Looks like there is no ventilation. That would not be good. They need ventilation more than heat.

@shewolf56 - Hey there and welcome!

You've got an awesome assortment in your flock! I read through the post a bit further and saw you craft hat bands with your rooster feathers? I would love to see photos of that! It's always interesting to see the ways people craft with feathers.

You mentioned having Nigerian Dwarf goats- I highly recommend checking out BYC's sister site called Backyard Herds. I got alot of help there when we raised goats- they're super helpful!

Hopefully you enjoy this wonderful community of chicken folks- they're always willing to help and offer information based on their own experiences. If you're having an issue, check the Articles page and search through old forum posts. If you can't find an answer that way or need quick help, make a post in the forums.

well today we build individual pen with house for each rooster inside the pen. Avatar is a Golden cuckoo maran I have 2 and one was all bloody this morning still alive but he is angry. Placed everyone in kennels so he has freedom of pen while making each rooster a home so they are all safe.
