Hi all! I need some tips on integrating 3 young pullets (5 weeks old) into my existing flock (13 weeks). My existing flock consists of 1 hen and possibly 4 roosters...accidentally. I plan to re-home 3 of the roos once I know for sure if they are rosters. I currently have the 5 week old pullets in a large dog crate inside the run with the older birds during the day. They all go in the coop at bedtime with no incidents. I've been doing this for about a week and the 13 week old birds still peck at the babies if they happen to get to together. Should i just let them all be together and let them "sort it out"? Any ideas are appreciated.
