Those are some pretty birdsAwesome info!! I’m learning as I go as my first foray into backyard chickens ended with my neighbors calling the city and me having to give all my chickens to a neighbor that had a family ranch. Now I’m in a more rural area where that won’t happen, so I’ve started again. Anyway! I got four pullets from Tractor Supply last summer, and had to wait til they were as big as the smallest member of my current flock (not too bad as she is a bantam silky). This year, my broody hen (bantam silky) hatched four eggs and all four chicks hatched w/o issues. I’ve been keeping them separate until the last week, but now I know moving forward that, so long as they were hatched by a broody hen, and not in an incubator, they can be introduced much, much earlier. Yay for knowledge!!! God bless this community. I’ve learned so much so quick and I’m all for it, haha!
