my run is around 6x12 and the coop is like 5x4 I have the original 6 in there and then I made a temp small coop and run for the 5 new guys. The 5 new ones, 4 are small still but 1 is the same size and the original 6 - can I throw her in the mix yet or still wait a few weeks like the rest ???
Ok so I had 6 chickens in the coop for only 5 days and then today I just added 5 more chickens, but the original 6 started bullying the heck out of them! I separated them with a wire fence, but now when can they all live together ???
Hey everyone my wife and I are getting 3 silkies added to the crew, they're about 4 weeks old now, when can we put them outside in the coop?? And mix them with the other chickens ??
