    Shredded Paper for bedding, floor covering??

    We just bought a home and are moving in. The chickens had a hard time with this move as they were all (24) stuck in our brooder tractor for the last week and a half.

    transitioning chicks to coop

    We have 14 chicks that are 7 weeks old. They are still much smaller than Goro, Lola and Snowball. When do we introduce them to the adults coop? How will they fit in to a tight fit group. Will Goro our Roo take to 14 more young hens nicely or will we have a problem?
