Hey everyone! We have 6 chickens that are about 13 weeks old and have been living outside for over a month in a smaller coop next to our original flocks big coop.
We free range so the little ones have been free ranging for a couple weeks from morning til evening along with our original flock. They've basically kept to their own groups and there is plenty of room for them to roam. The younger group avoids the big ones.
The younger chickens are running out of room in their little coop and I'm planning to transfer them tonight to the big coop. Is there anything more I should do to make the transition go smoothly?
We have an added factor of 2 of the younger ones (one is a bantam) turning out to be roosters. We are waiting to see how that will pan out in the coming weeks as we only have 9 hens. They have just started to do some pecking order domination type actions.
Any advice is welcome! Thank you!
