I have one flock about 2 years old they are a mix of red stars, brown laced wyandottes, and a araucana. 11 all together.
I have a new batch all Barred Rocks, some all black some black and grey! 12 of these. BUT these ladies are about 19-20 weeks! They are huge maybe bigger than my others! And they are NOT laying yet!! My plan was to wait till they were laying and mix them this fall so they are all together for the winter months.
Question is should I go for it now! Or wait till they are all laying, I was hoping the others would teach them where to lay. OR I have two tough lady flocks. I dont want it to turn into a blood bath
Anyone have this experience???
THANKS
