Put with older chickens

[Team01]

I have 9 ten week old chickens. Would like to know if they are old enough to move in with older chickens. Also I have 14 baby chickens that are 33 days old are the old enough to move outside into a grow pen

The older ones are ready to go when you are, you still do need to do an integration period if you haven't already done so.

The younger as well.

Just as a point of reference I brood outdoors with the aim of having chicks fully integrated and in the coop with the adults at 4 weeks. If you have ample space and feeders and clutter to break up the area it can be much easier to do it sooner rather than later, as small chicks are less of a threat to older birds.

I like to keep my new additions inside a cage within my main coop for a week or so to ensure smoother integration.
