Just wondering how often this works. I have had my 2 new ones (6 weeks) in a dog kennel but in the same run with all the other girls (7 weeks and 10 weeks) for the last few days and so far the main hen pecking I've seen involves food. We still bring them in the house to sleep at night b/c we have one more thing to do to finish the hen house, but I'd really LOVE to have all the girls sleeping in the hen house together before my company comes next Wednesday. I live in a teeny tiny cabin (600 sf) and they brooders have taken over my dining room.
So, I'm just wondering if it will work to put all the girls in the hen house together for the first time... or should I give my originals a few nights to get used to it and then try putting the newbies in.
What do ya'll think?
Thank you in advance.
