    Integrating new chicks

    Thank you for your response. We are in the process of making another small coop and run beside the big one. It should be finished Saturday and then they will each have their own space until the chicks are bigger then I will try to integrate them. I get a lot of conflicting information and...

    Integrating new chicks

    Advice please: I have a 1 year old rooster and 2 hens. I have 7 chicks I hatched in an incubator. I put the chicks in the coop with the others in a large dog crate (brooder) at 1 week old. They are now 3 weeks old. In the mornings I let my older ones into the run and let the chicks out into...

    Integrating new chicks

    Should I be worried about the grown ones pecking at the babies? They have tried to peck at them through the hardware cloth separating the run and coop.

    Integrating new chicks

    I have a RIR rooster and 2 hens that are one year old. I just incubated some of their eggs and have 7 chicks. At one week old I moved their brooder to the coop with the other chickens. Once a day I put the chickens in the run and let the chicks roam the coop for about 30 minutes. I then put...

    Adding chicks

    I have a 6 x 20 coop and a 20 x 30 run with only 2 hens and a rooster in it. Thank you so much for your input. I will begin with the chick starter while they are in the brooder. When all of that has been eaten I can switch back to the all flock for everybody. Now to just get those chicks...

    Adding chicks

    I have another question if you don’t mind. I will feed my chicks the chick starter feed normally for about 18 weeks. After the chicks are in the coop with the hens and the rooster, can the big ones eat the chick starter until the little ones are 18 weeks? I normally feed my big ones all flock...

    Adding chicks

    I have eggs in my incubator that should hatch next Saturday. I plan on putting them in the coop with my 2 hens and rooster inside a brooder when they hatch. My question is when should I be able to let them out of the brooder to integrate with the others.

    RIR chicks from incubator

    They were straight run and I knew that when I purchased them. I just didn’t know enough at that time to be able to tell the sex until they started crowing. I am hoping I can tell before that point this time. I have someone who wants a rooster and a pullet when they hatch.

    RIR chicks from incubator

    I will be putting some eggs in my incubator in a couple of weeks for the first time. I have Heritage RIR rooster and hens. Is there a way to tell within a few days if they are males or females or will need to wait until they grow some. When I purchased my original ones from the local hatchery...
