i'll take a few pics of my coop set up today

right now i have 2 rooster pens and they stay in them and 2 runs, a brooding pen, a guinea pen, a large chicken pen and a soon to be turkey pen

then theres a run connected to the 2 rooster runs so i can let one out to mate with the hens, and i know what hens lay what colored eggs so i can pick them up and stick them else where or under my broody.

what do you think about this guy, he is 6-8 months old. a friend of ours had him, knew we had 3 production red hens and wondered if we wanted him.

He is large and handsome, but is he a brick? we will probably keep him with the red ladies for awhile.

thanks, model_A

Thanks! I would like to see the setup!

He's a production type Red. Much too short in the back & colour is too light to be what they're calling a "Heritage" Red.

thanks NYREDS, blinders off and now I do see the short back (with your help), thanks!
