I have 3, 9 week old hens, 3, 5 week olds, and 1, 2 week old. We had let them join one another in the coop before, but we noticed that the big girls would hog the heat lamp, even at night. So we closed them all off. But, it's been very warm here, so we took the lamp away and i let them hang out together last night.
My big girls have been free ranging in my yard, and I am very tempted to do so with my littles as well today?
What do you guys think? I'm worried about the younger ones coming it to go to bed at night.
OH... also, I clipped my big girls wings already, and should I do so with the little ones before letting them out... not the 2 week old of course....
