Hello All!
I am new and look forward to talking with you all. I live in southern New Jersey so anyone from down here say hello . Now back to my question. I currently have three hens.. 2 barred rocks and my Buff Orpington AKA the The Buff. I also have 3 chicks which include a buff orpington a light brahama and a cuckoo maran. I wanted to know when I can put the chicks in the coop with the big hens. It makes my basement look like a wood shop even with the aspen shavings I use. Right now they are around 8-9 weeks. With temperatures here getting to be 40-70 F degreases. But inside the coop is always warmer. So I wanted to know if I can put the chicks in the with the Hens and what to do about feed. Do I mix chick starter with egg layer pellets. Or can the chicks just eat egg layer pellets?
THANKS!
