    Introducing chicks to the coop

    I haven't really measured it except on Google earth but the upper coop has 4 nesting boxes per side and 2 roosting bars that can sleep about 6-10 chickens. The lower section is something we were hoping to expand eventually as needed, but there would still be one door because of the way the...

    Introducing chicks to the coop

    Sorry--I didn't make that clear. I meant it's about 4 foot by 4 foot and about 4 foot tall. It has protrusion nest boxes down each side and there are 4 of them per side and then roosting bars overhead in the middle area and there are 2 of them. They can hold about 6-10 chickens per bar...

    Introducing chicks to the coop

    And yes, I think we need to put them outside more but it's been super cold and windy and wet so we've been trying to wean them off of indoor heat a little more gently.

    Introducing chicks to the coop

    I'll try to get pictures later in the daylight. The coop upper section has 4 nesting boxes down each side and a 4 by 4 foot square of flooring with two roosting bars. The bars can hold 8-10 chickens each (depending on how snuggly they want to be) And then there's a ramp that leads down into...

    We bring them out for a few hours at a time to the run, but the coop is attached and opened. We haven't really moved them out full time but were intending to just put them out for longer and longer times until they were fine together (however long that took). Since it was going well and since...

    Introducing chicks to the coop

    Maybe. I'd hate to try to build something just to have to take it down. We aren't intending to put them out there full time for a while, but we are trying to get them acclimated to each other.

    Introducing chicks to the coop

    I have a handful of younger chickens (they range from 4-10 weeks right now) and we're looking at eventually introducing them to the hens outside in the coop. Those hens are some 9-10 months in age. We take the younger chickens outside in the warm parts of the day and let them see each other...
