Introducing!

[Sommalincolne Bantie Roo]

Hi All

I need some help......Ive two chicks that are 10wks and 7wks, these two need tobe introduced to 15x 5wk old chicks so that they all live in the bigger chicken coop.

I don't know whether to just pop em in or todo it at bedtime or even when they are all getting something yummy to eat. Please can anyone give me advice on what is the best thing todo and any stories of trail and error with introducing.

Many THanks!

Put them in at bedtime and it would probably be ideal if you put the older chicks into the younger chicks territory vs. the other way around since their is probably a size difference.

Thanks for your advice but I tryed it during the day which was a bad mistake as they starting fighting. So now Ive put the two older ones in a hut of their own. They seem quite happy together so its not a problem........just need to find loving homes now for my 15x chicks!
