I am sure this question is asked A LOT here. But I am new to this and want to do it right.
Here are my basics. I have 13 chicks all in one brooder.
4 7 week olds
5 6 week olds
4 4 week olds
The 7 week old babies can fly/jump out of the brooder. The brooder is too big to cover the top up completely. I took the 4 oldest chicks and took them to the outside coop with the adults. I have a Bunny Hutch in there that is completely enclosed and a mini-enclosed run. So can the chicks stay in there? If they are in there for a week could they join the adult ladies next week?? How would I do that to minimize blood shed?
I appreciate any help.
