You can do that but you need a chicken wire divider in between for a couple weeks until they get to know and see one another then after introducing them there should be real easy integration. Here's a couple of pics from my attempt, it was very successful.

With the mixed emotions of sadness and relief I gave up my 2 cockerels. The farmer kept his word and even took them one week ahead of schedule but it was harder than I thought it would be. I think the bond that formed with all the TLC given is quite powerful.

That's the one. you're definitely right you certainly know your stuff.

Yes indeed that is why it's going to be so hard to give him up. I wanted an Australorp chicken so badly.

It's a mistake, thanks for pointing it out. It's definitely 7 weeks.

Australorp Cockrel at 7 weeks old.

But ad you can see in the background i got 2 more silverlaced whyandotte pullets that are known 2 weeks old i am gradually going to introduce them with my 6 week olds and than give up my roosters to a local farmer.

Yes only one hen. The black Australorp and the Silverlace whyandotte are bothe roosters. This is my only hen.

The lady that sold them to me said that they're using a new hatchery from Tennessee I don't remember the name of it, and they've had problems with it. But it was too late for me they would not take them back. Don't worry I don't intend on going to Vegas anytime soon.

I didn't buy him from him. It's a hatchery bird that I purchased at rural King. But i found a chicken farmer that raises chickens to sell cage free eggs that is willing to take him and his brother a silver laced whyandotte as a favor. And if you're asking, yes I'm that unlucky. purchased 3...

Thats good enough for me. Thanks.

It's because the farmer promised me that he would take him but only at 8 weeks when his fully feather. He is known 6 weeks.

that's what I suspect it Kurt but I just wanted to confirm it one last time to push me over to acceptance because I promised them to someone but I don't want to give him up since I really wanted an Australorp chicken. You're confirmation just makes it easier. Thank you again for taking the...

Here's an up close Photo.

My Australorp cockerel at six weeks old. I only have him 2 more weeks until I give him up. So if anybody out there thinks this is somehow a pullet please let me know because I am not 100% convinced do to the strangeness of his comb, it's not completely a straight comb it somehow mixed.

Australorp pullet/ Cockrel? Most likely Cockrell at 5 weeks olde.

Why do you have to wait so long? I also hope you get more than one chick since they are very social animals. They do not do well alone.

Yes just a regular heat lamp in the garage. That gold laced Wyandotte is fethering very nicely, the other ones are very slow to feather though I'm presuming it's because their Cockrells.
