I have Six older hens at 25 weeks
My 2- RIRs are 20 weeks, one is a lot more developed then the other, ie.. combine is 6-8 times the size and darker than the other. She follows me around and just squawks. She even flew on top of a five foot fence , when I was on the other side just to squawk...
Both babies are 4 day old Frizzles. I know they're small, but the lighter one
Is like half the size of the other one. Also seems not as active.
Should I be worried and if so what can I do?
I keep my 6-2 month old pullets outside in the run and my 4 -3 weeks old chicks in the garage where the first ones were kept.
Every morning when I wake up or get home from work I let the pullets out of the coop/run to free range in the backyard. I then get the babies and let them free range...
Just brought home
2 White Leghorns 12 days old
2 Buff orpingtons 5 days old
2 Stars. 5 days old
What a great family project
Thanks to BYC for all the info
