Lil over 3 months and now they are free ranging with the rooster( still feed chick starter)....but they sleep in separate quarters but side by side with my older roo and older hen. I have a couple of questions for ya all... first off..
1) until the Roo can catch the teenagers, he still jumps on poor my other hen(many times) to the point where she runs and hides and wont come out. Sometimes I just leave her in the coop with door shut do to the fact the teenagers will go in there only to get shooed out of or cornered and pecked at. I bought a saddle for her but cant catch her...any idea's?
2) how to introduce a new coop to the group? and yes, with the way things seem to be going im gonna have to split the coop in half with wire...the teenages I can pick up but the roo and other hen I cant ={
On a good note hear, that Roo of mine is very good to the teenages...
