I have a flock of 3 pullets and 3 cockerels that are 10 weeks old and I have 4 three week old chicks in the brooder.
The 10 week olds don't fight at all, the males just started crowing.
Initially I was going to add the chicks when I pull the two extra cockerels to butcher, but they are growing sooooo slowly and I don't want to have to get another coop for the littles.
Maybe add the chicks in 2-3 weeks, before the older ones are fully sexually mature and not as mean? (I am guessing)
