[Tripp16]

yes, she looks old enough, just make sure she does not get picked on by the others you are going to put her with.

Well she is going in her own pen. The thing Im worried about is her sisters wont be able to go out with her a few more weeks. Should I just until their ready??

I am I have their pen built I might put her out close to the big girls until the others get old enough to be with her. I know! She is HUGE she may be a little older thats justwhat the lady told me...... She just keeps trying to be the boss with the other babies but only when Im around. Thanks for the advice!

she looks more like 7-8+ weeks old
