When can I let them out with the flock?

[chickenfever]

Two babies. They were born 3 days ago. They have been separated with mama from the rest of the flock. Doing great. Mama seems like she will be very protective. Can I let them out with the rest of the flock tomorrow?

I personally like to keep them seperate for a few reasons. The babies need their own starter feed is the first reason. The other is the mom being able to protect them from the flock. It could be too overwhelming for her if to many come after her or the babies. Others have done it successfully though. I personally would rather not chance it.

I was wondering about the feed situation myself.
