Trying to get an idea of what I need to change in my coop for my trio of Peas I'm getting. The roosting bar is a nice rounded edged 2x4 about 4 ft high, but I'm sure I need to move it out from the wall for the Cocks train, how far? I'm thinking 30" or needn't it be that far?
Also, do you agree...
I have been raising and hatching out BCM's now for 3 years. This last batch I hatched out in February has a white one! I have had a few wheatens hatch in the past, but this one is pure White, pretty sure its a rooster, and it shows no signs of any other colors coming in yet!

I rescued (or bought very cheap) these two chickens from a guy on Craigs list, He told me they were Araucana's, which now I am thinking the white one is an Ameraucana (it lays an off white egg) (as it has a tail) and the red one I'm not sure. The Red one was completely bald in back, lays blue...
I rescued a little white cochin hen from a guy who no longer wanted her... she started laying for me within 2 weeks of coming "home". But her eggs have no yolks! (the guy said she was 2 years old) She lays about every other day, or every 3 days...
