I hope my babies end up doing just that!My pullets are a about 2 or 3 months old now, and have a 5 year old rooster and 2.5 year and 9 month old hens in main flock, I brooded them in a large dog kennel as they were under quarantine, once quarantine lifted I had no problem with them integrating into the flock, though, they started out by going out but could always get back into the kennel where the older birds couldn't . One night I about had a heart attack, went out and couldn't find the pullets at all, they were last place I would have thought , they had followed the chickens into the coop and were happily perched with the flock. even if it was just on the ladder so once arm heals up I will get a real perch made for them.
Yes....yours may be too old/big at 8 weeks, depending on how big your adult birds are.Is that somewhere only the young chicks can fit?
That's awesome! Very smart.Yes....yours may be too old/big at 8 weeks, depending on how big your adult birds are.
And the smaller the chicks the easier the integration.
However you make the opening, make it adjustable.
Here's how I do it, and there's a couple links in there to 2 other members setups.
