Best Answer

Yes

They might if it is available. Some don't start to get up on a roost until they are about 10 weeks or so preferring the huddle and warmth of the others as long as possible.

Go ahead and provide a low roosting spot. You can show them what to do also by going in and putting a couple of them on the roosting pole and let them decide for themselves if they want to stay.

Con you put baby chicks in the pin with other chicken and a rooster?

Yes and no. When adding new chickens to an existing flock there are many steps and stages. One concern is the possibility of bringing in new germs or diseases. It is best to quarantine new birds for 30 days. Afterwards introducing one of your flock to the new chick while keeping separate for another week. After all of these steps then you can introduce the new flock to the existing flock at night while everyone is roosting. This is the best time for the merging of chickens. New baby chicks that are smaller than the other chickens are in danger of being picked on and destroyed by older chickens. They should be kept in separate area until they are at least 8 weeks old before the merge and then watched carefully. You can also place them in a smaller cage and put this cage in the new coop for several weeks before the merge.

How long should a 5 week year old kitten sleep?

At 8 weeks of age, a kitten will still spend about half its time sleeping. Eat, play, sleep. Repeat. What a great life! So long as your kitten is eating regularly, using the litter box, and playing, do not be concerned that it sleeps for a large portion of its day - it's still growing, and all that play time wears it out!
