Hello everyone, I am new to this. I have owned my girls for about 8 months. I started out with 6 now i am down to 3 Thanks to my hungry neighborhood hawk!!I learned the hard way. Well one or two of my girls are laying. I get 2 eggs a day morning and evening.
I have one question i cant seem to find the answer to. I would like to get 3 more chicks. Can I put them in with the big girls when it gets warm

from TN. I would wait untill they are close in size to the bigger chickens.

Last summer I introduced 2 Easter-egg chicks to a flock of 6 hens and 1 rooster. I kept them in a pen next to the adult chickens for a couple weeks and at 10 weeks old I put them all together. My only problem I had to fix was at dusk the adults didn't want the 10 week old Easter-egg chicks roosting near them, so I had to give them their own roost.
 
Hello! and

I'll echo the previous comments - keep them apart until they are big enough to hold their own - and even when you do this, there will be spats at roosting time... it will take some time, but they should eventually be OK together ...
