Crowing
So my chicks are just getting too rowdy and crowded for their brooder and I'd like to move them to the coop. The coop I'll be using isn't complete yet. I have another coop that I can transfer them too but it has no power.
The deets:
This is my first flock
Chicks are 3 weeks old
There are 30 chicks
I split up the chicks and move the largest/most feathered to the coop
After a couple weeks and once everyone's well feathered, they all get moved into the main coop together
fyi I have a runt who is half the size as the others
Why I think this will be ok:
I'll keep 15 chicks in each group, so when they're introduced back together there won't be a small group that could get picked on.
Since it's a new space to everyone, hopefully it will put the chicks on more even ground with one another.
Any reason why this might be a bad idea?
Some pictures in case that helps:
Hopefully that made sense, I'm pretty tired tonight so sorry if I've missed something
