Hi all
Firstly, I love this forum. I'm in Australia and you all provide fantastic info.
My question is:
I have my new baby Olivia who is 7 weeks old in a large bird cage inside the coop which houses 11 month old Lolly. I let Olivia have the run of the coop for a few hours a day and lock Lolly outside. At night, Olivia gets locked in her cage and Lolly in the main part of the coop. Is this the best way to get Lolly used to her. I don't think she is old enough yet to be let ouside the coop. Can I give her any treats other than her baby chicken food? Also, I am holding her at least once a day - will she get used to me this way?
Thanks so much for your help.
