Those squares do not look small to me. I see openings of graduated sizes, ranging from 3" by 6" (the smallest) to 8" by 6" (the largest, which is big enough for some adult chickens to go through.) Those are all bigger than the 2"x4" rectangles you mention as a comparison. Personally, I would go...

I agree with you about not seeing the thickening that is common with the pea comb gene. That is a large part of why I thought it was probably single. Yes, I've also done some pea/single crosses and seen a variety of wonky comb types, with the actual single combs standing out in two ways: they...

If they have to stay in the coop during bad weather, they need the larger amount of space, and sometimes even more. If they have to stay in the coop after they wake up in the morning, waiting for you to come open a door and let them out, they also need the larger amount of space. Given how big...
