I do appreciate your answer. I actually talked to a local hatchery owner yesterday that said the same as you. So two of the same answers LOL. Thank you again.
Ok we have 7 chicks. 3 RIR 3 Red Stars and 1 Barred Rock. They are between 6 and 78 Wks old. Would it be ok to add a 24 wk old RIR to the coop? I was thinking that she might help train them to go into the hen house at night
