How many weeks before it is safe to allow the older hens around the new babies? I have three new chicks about three weeks old. My three hens are just over a year old. I've read they should be around 16-20 weeks.
Are there any tips or tricks to make the two coincide with a peaceful transfer. I am afraid the older ones hurting the younger ones. We are in the process of building a bigger brand new home for all of them.
Once it warms up outside and they are around three months I thought I would put them in older area and transfer the hens to the new build. Should I keep the babies separate until they are four or five months old?
