I have 4 chicks that are 7.5 weeks old and 2 that are only 4 weeks. The older chicks have been outside in the coop for the last week, but I'm not sure when to introduce the smaller ones. I know a lot of the advice on here is to wait until they are at a similar size, but wouldn't that mean keeping the younger ones in the brooder until they were almost fully grown? Or will the younger ones 'catch-up' to the older ones soon?
sorry, I've only ever introduced new adult hens, so the baby/juvenile situation has me stumped and I'm not sure my boyfriend can handle having chicks inside the house much longer
