I now have 14 birds

They are all in the coop together. As the group in the brooder became about 4 weeks or full feathered I took them out to the coop. They all seem to stay in their own "group" as of age. The oldest/biggest ones do chase the others around when it comes to food and treats. But, for the most part...

I have 4 phases of chicks in the coop now 12 weeks 9 weeks 6 weeks And 4 weeks They all eat the same feed. Will it hurt the older ones to stay on grower/ finisher or change and the little ones start early on layer? Or do I need to keep them apart?

4 RIR 2 white silky 2 black sex link 4 Bantams And 3 Leghorn in the Brooder.

Banty Roo? Feather foot

It is my first year and five just went out to the coop. So, of course I needed 8 more, right? I got 4 Bantams, 2 white silkies, and 2 black sex link.

Good luck with the babies. I had two with pasty butt and they are fine now. I gave them boiled egg yolks and yogurt the first week.

I got the coop at TSC. It says it holds about 6-8. I got the minimum of 6 at TSC and the neighbors dog got one. So now I have 5. This is my first year

I got the kennel at Lowes for $225. I had to put it all together.

Yes, bought the coop at TSC and went back toe the fun that goes with it. Then that didn't look all that big so now I put a 10X10 dog kennel up. I'm going to put the bird-x netting over top. It is 14X15 mesh. I hope to keep out the halls. And cyotes.
