When can I put my 7 and 8 week old pullets out with my adult hens and roosters? I have two coops for my 25 adult chickens out in the yard now. They free range within large area fencing. I need to get them out of my garage soon. Is it safe to combine them yet?
My Silkie hen’s chick hatched Saturday. She and chick are still in nesting box. Do I need to move them to another, area away from the flock? I have several other hens and a rooster. Thank you for your help.
I have 26 chickens. 16 are pullets, three are 10 weeks old, and five are over two years old.
I’m trying to do sexing on the the younger ones. They are silkie and buff laced polish standard mix.
