    What's a good age to let the babies into my main flock?

    I have twelve 8-12 week old chicks that contain EEs and Silkies. What's a good age to let my babies into the bigger flock? I have two roosters that are almost the same size as my one RIR so I'm thinking that they can go out soon. They're 12 weeks old. Thanks in advance!
