I have two 28 week and four 23 week old pullets I got two chicks (EE & BJG) last month supposedly the EE was 4 weeks at the time and the BGJ looked to be only a few days old ,They are now fully feathered and I would like to get them outside with the big girls I have been taking them out to the pen next to the big girls run during the day so they can see /interact without the babies getting hurt .
How long should I continue to do this before I can add them fully to the flock ?
I just would hate for them to get hurt , I know there will be some ruffled feathers until pecking order is Established.
