Move younguns to big coop or let them go on their own? Update-it was easier than I thought.

Well, I ended up putting another roost in the big coop. I put them in there last night and crossed my fingers. I got up early to let them out. As Ridgerunner said, the little ones were on the roosts out of everybody's way.

Tonight, they 10 week olds put themselves to bed on the roost I put them on last night, even before the big girls went to bed. I guess they were ready.

I am thrilled that I didn't have the horror-story version of flock integration that I've seen here on occasion. I hope the next one goes just as well in about 12 weeks or so. *crosses fingers*

Glad it worked out! A smooth integration is always a big relief and a reason to celebrate
