I have been hatching small batches of birds out of my flock this year, now down to 4 birds, to replenish my numbers. One batch that has been out of the brooder for a month (6 Birds) and another (10 Birds) that is about ready to start living outside next week. I would like to merge both batches at this point and put them into my larger coop, swapping my older birds into my smaller coop. With these young bobs I would like to assume that they would not be particularly territorial both sets going into a new space... Any one have any thoughts or insight on a successful merging of each clutch?
