II have 2 hens & 1 rooster, and some days ago I get a young hen, she is big in size as she is a black cooper maran, but stil not mature, she is suppose to start laying in one or two months ... the question is; It will be safe to put her in the coop? It may be a danger for her health if the rooster mate with her being that young? or I better keep her in a pen untill she matures?
She is in a pen very close to the run of the little coop, and she seems to want to be with the other: : 2 hens a Black Sex Link, a Mutt (mother was a black sex link , father was a "mutt" rooster) and a very big white rooster that I have no idea what he is except that was an "easter chick" . The little flock also seems to accept her as 3 of them are very close to her pen too (the rooster protects her , and dance for her as if he wants to mate with her)
