I have about the same question. I have 24 pullets that are about 8 weeks old. I also received 10 chicks that are only 1.5 weeks old. How old should the chicks be before I put them in with the older ones?
We plan to keep most of them for the winter. Due to no daylight during most of the winter months, they will have to remain inside so that we can regulate the lighting so the will lay.

Thank you so much. We live in Alaska and it should be no problem during the summer, but we will have to put them in the coop during the late evening to give them some darkness.
My husband was raise on a very large chicken farm and he said that we would have to build a bigger coop if I didn't...
