Hi I have 5 new chicks all are about 9-10 weeks now I have had them in a pen next to my 9 ( now 7) year old hens since they was 5 weeks old. I have let them be together during the day for a few hours while supervised but keep separated at night. I have 4 hens from my first flock that will peck and kinda go after the babies.
I know that they will have to figure out the order and I havent seen any blood.
My question is do I just let the younger ones and the older ones be with the door open between or do I keep them separate for longer?
