So far so good. The littles are venturing out of the run a bit and I have had no issues with the older hens interactions however the littles kind of stay away from them. I noticed that you mentioned that when they mature enough they will join the main flock on the main roost. Mine are currently...

thanks

Thanks for the info

ok thanks for the advise. I'm going to have the run doors open on their side today and see what happens. They do love mealy worms. I just open the jar and they come running

Just wanted your opinion. My 7 to 9 week old pullets have been in a separate part of the run for a week now. I decided not to try to put them in the coop at night so they all wake up together. What I want to do is to open up their section to the rest of the run and the main coop and take away...
