Oldies and newbies in the same coop?
« on: June 12, 2009, 12:14 »
Currently my chicks sleep in the coop, and my pullets sleep in a different place.  I eventually want them all to sleep in the same coop.

The chicks are currently 7-8 weeks old, and are almost the same size as the pullets.  The pullets will occasionaly have a peck towards the chicks, and occasionally the boys will peck towards the pullets (and in fact the pullets are starting to show submissive behaviour to the boys).

Would it be OK to move the pullets into the coop now (over the weekend, when I can watch them more closely?), or should i wait a bit longer?
