I need some advice.
We are trying to merge our two small flocks of 10 and 4 together. The first ten are 35 weeks old and the second four are 17 weeks old.
Yesterday, for the first time we had them all in the same run. They have been in side by side runs and separate coops to this point.
The results: basically the littles stayed away from the others. Overnight, I had them in the same coop. I went out early to assess and prevent harm. The littles were huddled in a nesting box.
Need the help of you experts.
Is it to early? Do they just need more time?
All advice and suggestions welcome.
Thanks
