I currently have 5 adult hens. I just got three easter egger chickss. Before, I had a transition coop next to my big coop. This idea was perfect. I could allow them to mingle in the large run but they had their own spaces. The chicks got used to the hens and got used to the chicks. They would go into the transition coop at 6 weeks old and I'd transfer them to the large coop by 16 weeks old. Well, I don't have that mini coop now.
What age do you think a pullet can go with the larger hens? I am wondering if I need to make a new transition coop or can I allow them to go into the coop earlier?
