Thank you all. I went yesterday and bought all flock feed. Today after cleaning the coop it will be transition and move in day. Thank you for the advise.
I have 12 chickens (2-3years old) and was gifted 6 hens at 3 days that are now 11 weeks. I had on order 8 hens prior to the gifting…. The 11 week olds have been in the “chick section of the coop with the older hens for 6 weeks and overall mingle well during the day when we let them out...
This is helpful, Thank you! How about temperatures? We are looking to move them out at 5 weeks to begin the integration process…. It has been going down to 25 at night. The coop is closed up but should we keep a heat light for the littles?
So true! Great article as we love to be greeted and even hold our chickens on a regular basis. We have videos of my son holding our big barred rock rooster like a baby and he lays there cuddled in his arms and crows. So cute.
