Adding to flock

[Vwowens]

I have a single chick that is 2 weeks old. Outside I have 7 chicks that will be 7 weeks on Wednesday. Is there aWay to add the single chick to the flock when it gets all of its feathers.

Could you possibly get two to add to single ? roughly her size ? that might be easier

I hatched it with two other eggs the one died before the hatched date and the other hatched but died 3 hours later. Been looking for one to add with it but haven’t found any.

You might try adding one old to the younger, one at a time, instead of putting the younger with the 7 older

Ok thank you

This is what I would suggest. Best of luck.

maybe look at your local feed store

Local feed store don’t have no more chicks

What you may want to do is raise the young one alone but when she is old enough take one of the young and the queen bee bird out for two days adding the single to the flock two or three days later let the other two back in
