Thanks for the advice...I’ll start to introduce immediately. It makes very good sense!Most of the time the smaller the chick the flock see less of a threat. I'm not saying that right but you get the idea. Mama hens introduce their chicks to the flock at 2 days old. by 3 weeks to a month old these chicks are ignored by Mama to make their own way and the other chickens are used to them and see them as no threat or competition because they are small. They get a hard peck once in awhile, but usually just fit into the pecking order of the flock just fine. The bigger the chicken the harder it is to integrate. My opinion of course. It has worked for me.
