Chicken shack Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi everyone. I am hoping to get two 16 week old Norfolk Greys to add to my 7 girls and Harvey. The girls are getting older and I only get 1 or 2 eggs a day. At what age can they be intergrated I rely on the eggs as I am a vegetarian and don't want to go through the winter without any. I have been lucky as I have not had to buy any eggs since I started keeping chickens in london two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Norfolk Greys are nice birds and tend to be quite confident. I would look to quarantine them for a week or so (good practice when buying any new birds) then let them get used to their run and then try supervised free ranging when they are about 18/19 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Norfolk Greys are beautiful chickens, hardy, pretty and good layers. Can't add to Redwings advice just wanted to say good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
