im looking for info on how, when, were people have introduced there new chicks (young pullets) to the rest of the flock....
Ive tried searching but dont quite know what to search for. Im shure the question has been asked before.
as to my situation.
I have 2 laying hens, 1 coupe big enough for 8-10 laying large breeds which they currently use. I have one small chicken tractor built for the 2 hens last spring.
My coupe is built well enough that i can maintain 70+ temps easly when outside temp is 30+ deg. So my new chicks COULD go out as soon as 4-5 weeks old. (ie 1-2 weeks from now)
hopefully some of you can post some links to other threads.
