Hi there,
I recently lost one of my two hens so have bought four new pullets to keep the remaining hen company. The problem obviously is that the pullets are on growers. I'm keeping them separately at the moment in sight of each other but introducing them for a short time every day. Do I have to keep them apart until the pullets are able to go onto layers or would it harm my hen if she ate growers as well until the pullets are ready for layers pellets?
