I have read that the pullets should be about the same SIZE as the hens when you integrade. This will not be possible for me. I currently have 2 chicks in my bathroom and they will need to go out to the coop ASAP, maybe when they are about 6 weeks.
I have no place to really put them once they go outside other than the coop. The coop has 3 hens that all get along fine. I will be setting the chicks out in a cage everyday when they get older so that they can see each other. I will also supervise them when they do go out of their cage.
What is the youngest AGE that you have mixed pullets with hens?
Do you have any suggestions for me?
