At 6 weeks I would not put those with adult hens. 10 or 12 weeks maybe.

Well I wouldn’t put them in right away. I was gonna separate them but let them see each other for a while first.

That said, I did fully integrate my latest pullets by like 5-6 weeks old but they had been outside and seeing each other since like 1 week old and free ranged together and honestly I probably could have done it sooner but was nervous to ha

But these ones have been inside since they hatched and never seen the other ones and I have more adults now so it will take longer.

I probably won’t integrate them until at least 8 weeks or maybe longer. Or maybe I will just keep them in separate coops and just let them see each other that way and/or free range together when they’re big enough???
 
Yes definitely! But I would go ahead and start letting them see each other ASAP if you have the setup.

Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do.

Integration, maybe. But definitely not putting them straight in. They are still babies.

I wasn’t planning on putting them straight in. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. I’d split the coop up and slowly integrate them.

But maybe separate coops and just letting them see each other through the fence would be better?
 
Sorry, forgot to post these before but here are better photos of the Welsummers including some of them right next to each other. I really think I have a pair but :confused:

In the third pic, the suspected boy is on the top left and the suspected girl is on the bottom/middle right next to the Buff Orp

The others they’re on the left

Also I noticed today most of my EEs have wide/multi row combs too so maybe there’s hope for that one. :fl
