I am really new at this and I have 6 Rhode Island Reds (3 months old) and 3 male Indian Runner Ducks (about the same age) and recently took in 2 Cochin bantam (1 about 2 weeks the other 2 months). I have them all in a 10' x 18' area right now with another 10' x 20' being built this week.
Ok, here are my concerns, even though the Cochins are in a cage with all the others, when can I open the door and integrate? In the 2 week old too young? Can they bantams hold their old even though they seem so small? When I go in the run the Cochins are pacing, which I hate. I have to say that I am the worst about humanizing all my animals, all with names and personalities.
Should I let them out or wait till the larger area is finished next week then let them out?
I'm going to stop here, hope I get a few people to jump on board, because I have more questions.
Thank you very much in advance.
