This is my first time getting baby chicks! They are now 6 weeks old...I can't believe how fast they grew!! They look like proper chickens now...just about 1/3 the size.
They are in the spare room (there are 6 of them) and they are definitely outgrowing it!! I have 3 full grown chickens and 2 full grown ducks (my female duck is sitting on eggs so we will be having more ducks!) and was wondering when the new girls could be put in with the old? We have been putting them in a run that is next to the big girls' one on sunny days and they don't seem to be bothered by eachother but maybe that's because they don't have actual physical contact.
Also, when can I start feeding them layer pellets? I have been feeding them the medicated chick feed but the sooner I can buy one feed for all the better!
All advice is very appreciated!!!!!!!!!
