50 chickens? Not chicks? What kind? Lord have mercy I can't even sell six here. I've had requests but folks don't want to pay ($15 ) my price for a pol hen. Good garden o' peas , I can't give them away! Feed prices are up here.

Does anyone use Purina Omega 3 poultry feed?

As for those who responded about light that may be it. Everyone seems healthy. I do have a roo that isn't roosting of late. Not sure if it's just to crowded up there for him with all those girls or not. He seems fine otherwise. I guess if he can't have the top rung he doesn't want any. The BR's won't use the roost yet. They just huddle in the corner together.

My BR's are 28 weeks and 18 weeks old and still not using the roost. They do sleep up on the top of the droppings board though.

Mine are roosting just fine. Rex and his girls are 26 weeks now. Still no eggs, though.

Mine are roosting at 21 weeks but the roo use to set in the door and act as watchman( I have a secure wire area attached to the coop with a door to the run.) He may just be protecting your flock from below. Gloria Jean

My Barred Rocks all roost except for one. One rooster is always at the doorway sleeping. He always has, from the day I got them.

Nella, here is your F2 chick.........

Okay wanted to share pics of the progress and the supervisors....I did not et a pic of Lancelot but Delilah and Ruby were being nosey inspectors and a nuisance while Lancelot was just being a love and watching me.

I ripped out all of that rotted railing you see behind Delilah and Ruby, Hubby, Bear and I sanded the pillars down and today I filled in nail holes, replaced rotted wood and etc with wood filler, sanded and put first coat of paint on the pillars....

Check out Delilah's respectable spurs:

Miss ubber nosey, Ruby

The pillars before with the railings all removed

The pillars after filling, repairs, sanding and first coat O paint

The new girls out today during the painting....they are getting along well with Lancelot and the girls but still skittish of the big man when he starts dancing for them hahahaha Leaya, SLW, Chewy BO/Lav Orp and Becca, Olive Egger
