    Ever tried using flags? As a kid I used a 2-3ft. stick with a bit of cloth at the end to help round up the hens every night, it helps a lot with redirecting the ones that are too fast to run after. :)

    What breed is the reddish brown with the white necks and heads?

    I've gotta tell you, you just can't prevent poop. It's messy and a lot of work, but there's no getting around it.

    What breed of chicken is he holding on the left at the begining of the video? I have a hen that looked like that when she was a baby and I still have her.

    I am considering on moving 11 of our chicks from the brooder to our coop here in Michigan. Right now the temperature at night is between 45 and 55, and the day temp is anywhere from 65 to 80.
    I have an old 9x9 shed that we converted into a chicken coop. We have 19 chicks in a brooder box that is to small for that many chicks. the 11 I'm considering on moving to the coop are 4 weeks old tomorrow. Do you think with a heat lamp close to them at night when the temps drop will be okay for them??? This brooder box we have is getting way to small for 19 chicks.

      find a bigger one brooder box if you not too sure, or build in the big pen a smaller area with the heat lamp and let them roam though out the coop but make sure that the smaller area is big enough for them all the lay down. we moved ours in when the nights were at around 70-65, and day time was 80-85. they are all still alive though. wait until the can even move in their brooder box to move them out, but you should probably hang the light up.
