yah abouts-but they are still very younger to determine gender-so that was just my guess:-( I'd say in another 3-4 weeks it may be totally easier to guess corectly-repost photos then at that age???

Thanks. How old do they need to be before they go in with the older hens?

I have all my chicks in with them-the broodied chicks and all---I kee them in fenced off sections to see eachother for a few eeks then slowly let the gate open for them to free range with the crew. I have never had a problem with this!--I do occasionally put a feeder where only the chicks can get at to make sure they are getting their food and not being bullied out of nutrition..
