So I already had 4 chickens and they are close to a year old now.
I recently got 3 free chicks for free and they are currently a little over 2 months old.
What is the best way to add the new chicks to the small flock.
Right now the new chicks are in the run in a dog crate with a metal cage on the front so they interact with each other but the chicks can run to safety if need be.
Should I just keep them like this for a whole then try to let the chicks out slowly or just open the dog crate so the chicks can run back in but the bigger girls cant fit in?
