CatsCube Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Up to what age are chicks accepting of other chicks? Obviously I have my batch of chicks hatching now, then I will be setting more on wednesday, those will be at my sons school till they are at least a week old, will I be able to introduce them to my other chicks or will they get picked on? Also if I were to try for a third hatch afterwards the first chicks would be about 2 months old at that point would they accept new chicks then?

Redwing Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 You are ok up to a couple of weeks so neither would be ok The first lot would nearly be off heat by the time the next lot arrive anyway so they'd have different requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Okay, looks like a good excuse to get a third chicken house! At what age can they be introduced to each other, is it going to be point of lay sort of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
