Chicks

[Cali1]

I have a few questions. I really wanted to know from people with experience how they introduced their new chickens tho their old chickens? I've been reading online too many different things. Another question is i have a chick that is kind of aggressive towards the others but these chicks are really tiny could this mean I have a rooster? One other thing is they're starting to show feathers already and my pullets now never did that.

How old are yours now?

My older ones are 10 weeks the younger ones I think a day or 2

The Younger ones are too young to be added at this time, they should be in a brooder with heat until they're at least fully feathered. When introducing the younger ones to the older ones, the best recommenced is the "see but no touch" introduction.
