A couple of the growouts.

Just a couple, not very many at all, you definitely need more.

I need to do a head count just in Kongs coop, but that pic is maybe 1/2. The bigs were mostly headed for roost and the littles like to stay out a bit longer to avoid the chaos.

How big are your coops and roughly how many do you have per? I'm just curious, not going to lecture on space requirements, lol

Good question, but don't remember. I'll do math tomorrow.
Some I know..
There's 21 total in Kings coop, 16 in Poppys, 3 cockerels in a bachelor coop, 14 babies in a big separate brooder, 2 ducks in an outside coop, and 5 bantams in a 4x4 outside coop.
Kongs coop I'll have to look up numbers for birds (there's alot) and I'll measure all. Kongs coop is over max, but I think the amount of poopboards (5), 4 extra roosts, 8 nest boxes and 3 brooders under poopboards helps add that second level of space.

Kings, Kongs, Poppys, bachelor and babies big brooder are in a 24x24 pole barn...the reason I noted outside for the ducks and bantams.

Yes, fwiw, I'd highly recommend the Brinsea candler, with that housing it's peerless -- you can spin the egg around and view it 360 in there. It's awesome.

It might be $100 bucks but it's not gonna break and it's a one-time purchase.
