Hi doing my spring order for chicks I decided to call the place I got my birds from last year. I asked about adding a new flock to old and they told me no problem, just make sure the new birds are old enough to defend themselves... like 4months old.
The problem with that however is the birds will be ready to leave the brooder at 2 months old so I now have to build a temporary coop for the extra two months? (which I really do not want to do.)
Anyone with multiple chicken flocks or experience adding new birds to current flock is 4 months the min?
Is there another option?
