Hello, everybody! So, I'm getting new chicks coming in late Feb. I know my signature says "March", but I moved the date up. If you read my signature, it explains all of the breeds I will be getting. But now, I will do the amounts. 3 Welsummer, 2 Buff Orpington, 4 Barred Rock, 2 White Leghorn, 2 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 3 Americana, and 2 Sapphire Gem. I will be adding these breeds to an existing flock of: 8 ISA Brown hens and 1 HUGE Buff Orpington roo. We are getting a new, good sized building, so I will have to move the ISA Browns there first. The babies will leave their brooder at six weeks. What is the best way to integrate them to my girls and roo? I've heard that ISA's act like this to newcomers , but I need them to act like this. Also, I've heard that the hatchery I'm getting my chicks from, (Hoover's) sends "surprise" roos. How should I integrate them to my VERY nice BO roo (if I get them)? Thanks in advance!
