can i put my chicks in with the rest of the flock?

[chixrus]

they're with their momma and they're three weeks old. i've got twenty eight chickens in the coop...two banty roosters, one standard rooster, four banty hens, and around twenty standard hens and pullets.

Is Momma Hen separated from the rest of the flock. If so, then I'd wait a bit.

 

[chixrus]

she's halfway separated she goes outside with them but sleeps in a different shed.

Id say let her do her thing. She will know when and if its safe to let them go. And plus, mother hen would defend the chicks with her life if they were in danger

No way, I would not try it. I have read many threads where others from the flock will kill the babies.
