    introducing chicks to older chicks?

    I took both babies out yesterday and let them run with the bigger chicks. I sat in the pen (something I love to do anyway!) and supervised the 'playdate'. The bigger chicks were curious and there was a little pecking, but not too much. It went much better than I thought it would. At just 2...

    my little red baby

    The bin that the yellow one was in was marked New Hampshire Reds and all of them were yellow. :( I really hope it doesn't turn out to be a male. What else could it be?

    my little red baby

    introducing chicks to older chicks?

    I have (2) 2 week olds and (12) 7 week olds. I've been reading the threads on this, trying to figure out the best time and way to integrate mine. I'm thinking I should wait until my little ones are more feathered out and bigger. The brooder is plenty big to keep 2 chicks for as long as I need it...
