You do have a nice amount of area to work with ( much more than me). And the free ranging will help so much.
When the grown ups are free ranging they will likely show no interest in the little ones - but if confined together in the coop/run or competing for treats/food then the battles will...
@brandola Would you describe your coop/run set up - established flock size and age & if they free range?
Not trying to take over your thread, but want to see you successful and hope the experience will apply to those of us with smaller coop/runs and lack of free ranging opportunity.
Please...
Really, so glad to hear that. (I'm hoping to expand 2016 )
How old is the youngest newbies you have added to a grown flock?
Would you give specifics on your set up ( coop/run size, free range or not? and the number of established and new ones you have added.
I want to see what the experienced folks recommend.
All I can find is to delay introduction until they are basically grown - Hope there is a way to add them much earlier.
Will follow and see if we can get some tips.
