Got 2 Silkie chicks they are 9 weeks old and are off the lamp & I've got some 1yr old Silkie hens .

When do you think we can put the chicks in with the older ones?

Can some one replay please as i could put them in together tonight if it is ok.

Just had a read through one of my books WR1 and it says
Basically they can got out once fully feathered,
so basically it's if your year old hens will except them?

I think biggest problem is if they fight during the day:?

Thank you

they are fully featherd and the yr old ones seem to be accepting them when we put them in in the night.

i think il try them on the weekend so i can watch them during the day.
