question for frizzle or serama owners!

[chickymama32]

how long did you wait to keep your frizzle/serama outside and with the rest of the flock? Ours is inside since she is so tiny. Once she is bigger we will put her outside but for now she is in. She is fully feathered but has never been outside. She is very spoiled and treated like a house chicken. Will this affect her when we go to add her to the rest of the flock?

We keep our Seramas separate from our egg flock but to introduce new Seramas into their pen- we put the new ones into a dog crate and set the crate inside the pen for a few days- the birds can see and "call" to one another but cannot get to each other to peck or whatever....after about 4-5 days, we remove the birds from the pen, release the new birds for a couple of hours, then put the older birds back in, one at a time....seems to work with our birds but...
