I know this has been asked many times! But our 5 week old silkies need to move out with our year old hens. We have non bantum sized hens that are sweet but our polish is molting currently and tends to be the "rooster" of the flock. She can be fiesty to say the least.
I am concerned how to introduce our new 5 week old silkies to the big girls. They are out growing their current house which resides in our 4th bedroom. They have had a heat lamp on most of the time. What is the best way to introduce the little girls to the big girls. Our coop will be difficult to seperate. How long should we keep them seperated? At what point will the little girls be "safe" in the big girl coop?
Any suggestions would be great appreciated.
