I have an adopted 3 year old hen that is doing well after having had her comb pecked off last fall. It is completely healed. I would like to let her out to roam the yard with the other 10 week olds, but I'm not sure if I should with the disparity in ages. She gave me some very lonely clucks this morning though and seems to really want to get out. The 10 week olds are not the least bit interested in her anymore and just wander the yard.
Would it be disaster if I put them together, either she picking on them or them ganging up on her?
