Putting her out of the house...

[neuchicontheblock]

When can achicken leave the warmth of the house and go to the coop?She is about 3 mo. old, and has been losing alot of little feathers. Her personality is tough...nowall flower here. She would be going into a coop/run with 15 banties. She's making me nuts.

She is plenty old enough. You know to introduce her gradually, right? Letting the banties see her and she can see them, but they don't mingle right away. After a week or so, remove the barrier and let them work out the pecking order after they've gotten used to SEEING each other, so they're not totally strangers.
