My 6 chicks are 6 weeks old next week. They are in their own coop at the moment.
I’ve read several thoughts on moving them in with the hens. Some say now or maybe 6-8 weeks old but to create an escape area.
Sounds like it could work but what about their food?
The hens have layer feed and the chicks have grower feed and I’ve heard never to give chicks layer feed. Not sure how I can “teach” them to only eat their food.
Do people just put it in the panic area and hope for the best??
