Hi all!
We raised 5 chicks this summer. They are ranging in ages, but the youngest is over 8 weeks, the oldest is almost 12 weeks.
Would it be safe to introduce them to the flock? They've been raised from 3 weeks old right next to the older chickens, so they see each other daily. All are fully feathered, except the 8 week old still needs a couple face feathers.
I plan on putting them in the coop at night with the big girls and letting them roost first, but I mainly want to make sure they're old enough.
