I've got a dozen pullets that are about 10 weeks old that I've had separated from my laying hens by a temporary fence across their run. I would like to remove the fence soon, but I'm cocerned about the young girls and the nest boxes. I've always read that you dont introduce the young girls to nest boxes until they are about ready to lay- but since I have layers in the barn too, I cant exactly take the nest boxes away.
I've tried searching for this- as I'm sure many people encounter this problem. What do I do? Do i have to keep them separate until the pullets get closer to laying age?
