New chicks

[Carters Chick House]

When will my new chicks hang with the flock. All getting along just fine but my new chicks have not really ranged with the flock.

How old are they, might normally hang with the flock at 5-7 weeks.

They are 3 months old right now.

My pullets typically don’t really integrate with the hens until they’re about to lay. They tolerate each other but just don’t interact. Depends on the breed but anywhere from ~18-28 weeks.

Thank you. I'll just wait until they get older.

I have 3 age groups in my flock. They all tend to stick with the other hens their age but will all hang around together at times too. No issues getting along here either i think they just feel more comfortable with their main groups.

They should be plenty old enough to be with the flock, just keep an eye open for any bullying.

All getting along great but chicks don't follow the flock around. They stay close to coop when the flock wanders off.

That's fine, when they get a little more confident they'll start moving further away.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to that.
