Have a pair of Black Copper Marans and the hen didn't want to sit so I hatched the eggs.
When should I put them in with the pair??
The Rooster is the biggest I have seen,puts my Americana to shame.
 
When they are big enough to handle the tumult of establishing the pecking order. That can vary a lot depending on how you do it and your set up. If you give them a lot of space to run and have the hiding places and double feeders, waterers, integration can start at ten weeks. If your cramped for space the should be older.
