Bird Lady Outlaw
In the Brooder
I have my chicks and ducklings outside now that they're 6 wks old. We built a new coop for our 4 hens and moved the new birds into their old coop. We used this set up because it seemed the safest route. This way they all can see each other and get used to each other. But the question is how long do I keep the newbies locked up and away from the older gals? I'm assuming around 4 mos or so that way they'll be bigger and able to defend themselves if need be. Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated
