    4 week old Australorp pullet… with HUGE legs??

    I'd still say pullet. Unless you see a lot of wattles coming in in next week or so, but as someone else said legs aren't always a sigh(in my experience) good luck!

    Gotcha. Yeah we'll play with them. We used lumber we had on hand. The 2x3 seem okay for our Brahmas but may need to upgrade, which is fine. Gotta fix it, watch them use it and fix issues : )

    As of right now. I did move the feed pads, hay and egg over as well but forgot to take a pic. Kid stuck a brahma in and she was able to turn, stand and move around. May need to do a ladder, now sure yet. And we do have walking plank on bottom to add Eta it is very sturdy, but hubby wanted to...

    Thanks! Yes we already had the idea of "boxing" them in so stuff stays on as well as a walking board. Yes we know they are particle board and will get tore up and may not last long, but where they are going is enclosed and away from rain, if we have to adjust down the road we adjust. *We had...
