So I have four 12 week old chicks and four 7 (almost 8) week old chicks that I want to integrate with my hens. The chicks themselves have already been integrated for more than a month and they get along well. My hens are about 22 weeks old and free range for at least a few hours every day. I have six of them. Can I just let the chicks loose and see what happens? The hens have seen the chicks since they were babies, since they free range around their separate run. They have briefly come in contact once, and the hens gave my older chicks a hard peck, after which I separated them. How would you recommend I integrate them?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!
