I have 11 week old chickens outside in the coop. I also have a few 6 week old chickens and several 4-5 week old chickens.
Can anyone advise me on the best way to introduce everyone? Should I introduce the youngest ones first, then later all of them to the oldest? Or introduce the 6 week olds to the 11 week olds first? Or maybe go ahead and put the 4 & 6 weeks together in a crate and put them all in the coop with the big girls?
I know I need to do it through a crate for a few days so everyone gets to know each other. I’m just game planning the ages and the best way. Thanks so much for input!
