I searched the forum, but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for in this question.
I have 5 6week old RIR girls. I am introducing 3 12week old barred rocks to the flock. I already bought the 3 older chickens =/ so I'm hoping this is okay. Is the age difference too great? I don't have another pen to separate them ... But I could probably rig one up to put in the run if I need to. I thought i had done enough reading, but now I'm concerned and second guessing my decision.
Any advice ro knowledge would be helpful! Thanks again, forum friends!
