Combining Pullets of differing ages....help
Posted in Poultry
|
Hey ya'll......I have 6 birds who are 9 weeks old, and 4 birds who are 5 weeks old. I want to combine them as the 5 wk olds have outgrown their current grow pen. There is quite a size difference of course and all 10 would be together in a 10x4 stationary tractor/pen, with a top floor, same footprint. Just until we get another coop built in a few weeks........should I try to put them together now? Or wait? If I should wait, until about what age should the littlest ones be before they go in with the older pullets? Thanks! Fern www.JoyfulHeartsFarm.com |
