Integration is always easier when the nubies have a buddy. Being the only new kid in school isn't a lot of fun. Hope that helps.

Just an update:
I went ahead and bought two new pullets that were approximately the same age as our original two. We introduced them in their new outdoor run all at the same time and everything went swimmingly. A few pecks, a few flapped wings and everybody is getting along fine.
I would try to put them together....given enough space at that age it should go pretty good.I have a question as a newbie. I have 6-10 day old RIR and ISA Browns. We just got 10 Plymouth Barred Rock Pullets that are about 5 days old. They’re both sitting here in 80 gallon plastic tubs. I’m wondering if I should introduce them? But, I’m afraid the older girls will hurt the younger ones. Any thoughts?
Hi! My coop isn’t built yet, no. For heat, I’m using a brooder, like the tractor supply ones. You can lay is flat or we’ve been standing it upright and a red light for the younger ones. We keep it far away from them. My plan is for the coop- we have a smaller horse stall. Turn that into the coop, with a run on the outside and a gifted area on the inside. Cover the open spaces with chicken wire.I would try to put them together....given enough space at that age it should go pretty good.
80 gallon tub is probably not big enough tho.
Is your coop built yet?
What are you using for heat?
Better get busy....they need more space and the longer you wait to get the together the harder it will probably be.My plan is for the coop- we have a smaller horse stall.
