I would like to move 2 14 wk old pullets in with one roo, three hens and one chick (3-4 wks old). When would be the best time to do this? About a week ago I put one hen and the chick back in that coop. They were moved to a separate coop when the chick hatched.
Many ways to integrate.....can depend on your set up. Usually best to house new birds side by side, separated by mesh for a few weeks, before even thinking about letting them meet physically.
