Chirping
Alright, I'm on my second batch of chickens. My first batch is 9 weeks old, 19 standard size pullets and 2 bantams, one being a silkie hen and one being a rooster. They are already outside and doing well.
But my new batch of 4 chickens is only 2 days old, they are bantams and I'm not sure of the gender. When should I mix them with the older flock and will I have any problems with the rooster? He is very friendly and at the bottom of the pecking order in the older flock. When the chicks get older I was thinking about introducing my silkie in with them before the other chicks.
