This is true. Every flock is unique in their acceptance process. Mine, for example, will willingly accept in chicks from 6-8 weeks old. They give them a little peck to let them know where they stand in the order and then they just let them grow into the flock as if they'd always been there. Some docks will attack young ones. I'm so Thandie that mine doesn't.

Thanks, I"m going to try to integrate the new babies, but probably wait until after the broodies are done. I only have 4 hens, 1 roo. With 2 hens brooding, that leaves a rather randy rooster... he doesn't seem to take no for an answer.

Just watch them carefully for the first few days. If a baby wanders away from mama during the first three days, she will not leave the nest to bring it back and the baby can be snached up and killed by the flock. I know from experience on this one

They are shut off from the others. Fortunately there were laying in a separate section that is easily blocked off. So, babies won't get far.

Does anyone know if you can set eggs earlier than Saturday and still be part of the Easter HAL?
