Hi, I am brand new to this, so please bare with me. I have kept back yard chickens before, but never have I had to introduce chicks to other chicks. I have 6 Ameraucana chicks - nearly 5 weeks old and I just picked up 2 bantam cochin - 2 weeks old - today. I would love some advice on how to introduce these new mini chicks to the big folks. When, where, how...please help if you can! Thanks

There are:
5 blues (one is a splash)
4 barred
3 partridge
2 self blue/ lavender
1 black

I'm going to name the black one Blackberry, a lavender one Strawberry, a blue Blueberry, and a partridge one Raspberry.
I am trying to name these ones all berry names

any other berry names would be appreciated.
So far I've come up with:
Huckleberry
Mulberry
Cranberry

That is a great variety of colors! Love the berry name theme you could also do,
Pineberry (White strawberry, very cool berry!)
...and if they don't have to end with "berry" than you could do,
Cherry

I also REALLY like Huckleberry, Mulberry and Cranberry, good luck with your new little ones, don't forget to post pics as they grow up!

This is Nixon I've been told he's a bantam Cochin just not sure of his/her coloring. It's not show quality due to a few "defects"

This picture was taken today. Such a character.

Thanks! I was thinking of naming a lavender one strawberry but right now it is Pixie (oddball not a berry) and I named a splash snowberry (not a real thing but oh well) I need another name for a blue chick, blueberry is taken. I like pineberry but not really for a blue chick?

And a recent pic of the ones with names (raspberry in front) Oh! I know! I'll name a barred one Pineberry!

I use grit with all of my chickens and chick grit for the chicks when they are about 3 wks old

Ok thanks I was trying to ask what I needed grit wise, and where I could get it like what would be a good brand for it.
