My 8 chicks are 4 weeks on Saturday. They are mostly feathered out now. Too early to put them in the coop?

My chicks are 5-6 weeks old and are in my coop and loving it. All depends how the other birds take to them. My orpingtons could care less about my chantecler chicks

May have splayed leg. You may want to post in the injuries section.

Most people don't put chicks out with out a light til at least 6-9 weeks old. We live in the foot hills so I wait until 9 weeks. I would say love your babies in the house a bit longer, I know the smell is not cute after 2 weeks old.

One option is to have them out during the day in a small brooder pen with wire so the older hens can see them but not get to them., that is what I do and bring them in at night.

This is just one of our very young flock...But I adore this picture.

Aw! I love him! He's so adorable!!! And I bet he/she will grow up to still be adorable

I would consider waiting for a while before putting them in a coop or outside, because it's pretty dangerous for mother-less chicks to go anywhere put the house that young.

My plan was to put them in a large covered pen in the coop with a heat lamp or two. The coop is 8x8 and has plenty of room for that. And when they are around 8 weeks or so, try integration. IM hoping that if my older flock sees them and hears them for a time they will accept them sooner. I will play it by ear at that point. What do you think?
