I hatched 6 chicks born on August 15th - my question is when can I merge them with the main flock and how should I go about doing this?

Can't you change your email on this account to a secondary email, and then create a new profile with your main email?

 

 

Anyone going to be at the FOWL FEST in Birch Run, Michigan this Sat/Sun with their cochins to sell or show? I am hoping to find some nice mottled bantam cochins to buy but I am trying to not get my hopes up.

I see you live at the aproximately same latitude as I do so I expect you will have a fairly cold winter. With fall babies I personally try to keep themout of the adult coop for as long as possible. They just have developed their immune systems like the adult birds, and with a hard winter weather they will be fairly closed up . 4 months was the earliest I added them and then I sectioned offf a corner of the coop. Now I just put any fall babies in my mini coop for the winter.

I have mine in a pen next to the adults I am going to add them too. I NEVER put the young ones in the old birds pen but put the older birds in the young birds pen. I watch closely. Occasionally I have to take out the alpha hen and cage her separate for a while but mostly it works for me.
