    Safe time to let my chicks, 1 month old, in with older hens?

    So i hatched 3 chicks on August 11th and i have had them in the main coop, but separated from the rest, for about 3 weeks. When would be good time to let them try to integrate with older hens?

    How can you tell an egg is fertilized?

    I have a rooster, so im assuming most, if not all my eggs , are fertilizeded, however how can I tell? I heard if you crack them open and they have a white spot in yolk it means they are? Any truth to this?
