Thanks for your comments. The two groups are currently living in the same hen house divided by chicken wire. They are curious about each other and I am anxious to blend them. By Labor Day Weekend the 5 largest will be 24 weeks and the 9 younger will be 10 weeks. I have the food figured out by...
I am combining my two flocks in a few weeks. The younger ones are will be 10 weeks old. The older flock is ready to lay (but haven't). Will the younger ones eat the oyster shell if they aren't ready for it yet? Will it hurt them if they do? So far they will eat anything! TIA for any help.
