Hi, welcome back to keeping poultry! Generally the chicks can go out when they are fully feathered, what's your climate like? As for the older hen getting along with the younger, I'd give them all a chance to see each other but not touch (separate with a screen for example) for a couple of weeks before mixing them together.

Thanks for joining!

Well they still have their yellow down, but it looks like they are getting their primary feathers. I had them in a clean cattle mineral tub temporarily, but they are now roaming my shed that is attached to my storm cave. I'm thinking that they are about 31/2 weeks old. They are getting taller. It was warmer here, but southern Iowa is not consistent. They are still under their light and it seems really enjoying the roomier digs. Thanks
