[QUOTE="RoyalChick, post: 25939843, member: 552522"] I just checked back on my current batch of Hooligans who are now about 15 weeks old. When they were a month old they were in a brooder box in the big coop but had access to go anywhere and they did. This is what they look like at a month. You can see them settled on a branch in their brooder area and then also that they discovered 'the big roost' which is about 4' high. They may have used the ladder to get up there but I doubt it - I think they will have jumped up from a tree stump on the ground which is about 18" high. And they definitely flew down when the big chickens showed up. You definitely don't want them in a small space at a month old. I started mine in a pop up mesh tent like thing in my bathroom. I think that lasted all of 2 weeks. Just long enough for their Marek’s vaccine to take effect. [ATTACH type="full"]3180662[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]3180663[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
