Hi! OK I've got three 6week old chickens, and just got another one today - a 4 week old. I figured better to add one now while they're young.
Do you think that, at these ages, there will be many problems?? I planned on sticking the new one in there tonight but after reading these boards now Im nervous, I surely don't want to wake up tomorrow to a dead chicken!! Especially because it looks like this new one will be my favorite, she's real sweet.
Should I wait until morning and go in there and sit with them, or is it okay to put her in there late tonight and hope the pecking order thing goes smoothly in the AM??
