Integrating new chicks....

[Nyn loves Chickens]

So, my chicks are 7 weeks old and we’re getting to the place where we have temps in the high 50’s low 60’s at night. they are outside 75 % of the day and have been cordoned off from the bigs.... We’ve been showing the big ones the new chicks from the get go....the two bigs could care less, but my fave and she knows it, is still aggressively chasing them at the fence whenever they come near, less so as time goes by....

I’m hoping to have this integration thing done by 10-11 weeks..The question is how to do convince my MCA, Cream Legbar to accept the new ones and am I realistic that this will happen in 2-3 weeks.


the littles

the bigs...

the culprit

Fence them off an area inside the coop where the big girls can see them. This way the big girls get used to them
