Introducing baby chicks to the coop

[shellfish]

Hey,

I wonder if someone would advise us on how to introduce some new chicks to the coop. We have two hens and want to add some chicks. Can we just put the chicks in the coop when its dark?

Thanks

I wouldn't put babies in with the big guys until they are fully feathered and half-grown, at least. Do you have somewhere else you can keep them while they grow some?

No we only have the one coop. I'll have to look into buying another...thanks
