When to put 9wk olds in with layers

[giefdog]

I have 20 turkens and 6 Americanas when can they go in with the big girls and turken roo?

There are lots of threads with great information on integration or introducing young chicks to an established flock.

Right now? They are out gunned and out manned and there will be very harsh chicken politics if you try, without knowing what you're doing.

Not until they are almost the same size as the layers so they can defend themselves, or at least get away. Older hens can be MEAN to the little ones.
