Welcome to BYC!

Yes, this is the place to be for learning and like minded poultry keepers!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. BYC is a big place, so it can be confusing at first.

Great to have you aboard and enjoy your flock!

Thanks!!!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! The Learning Center has a nice article on integrating chickens of various ages (after the quarantine part) https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/adding-to-your-flock Waiting until they are about the same size and then keeping them in the same coop/run but separated by wire with a cage or dividing the coop for a couple of weeks so they can see and interact with each other is usually the easiest way to go.

just ask your question and someone will get back to you with
an answer or try to help you in some way
