Hello,

Combine her with the other chicks you currently have. If that's not an option I would suggest you get some additional chicks to combine with. You shouldn't have any problems combining these groups as they should be fine together. If you do combine them make sure you watch them for the first couple of hours just to make sure everything is working out fine.

Hope this helps...

there is a big size deference between them. they were picking on her earlier... well it stress her out. I don't know what to expect.?

Hello,

It might take them a couple of hours to get use to one another. I have Jersey Giant's mixed with Sebright bantams (a huge size difference) with no problems. In all honesty, it was my smaller birds that caused the problems I had when combining two groups I had this year. Just keep a close eye on them and see what you think...

Hope this helps...
