Rita,
Early summer of 2008, I had exchanged my young Americauna rooster for an Americauna chick and Buff Orph because we were not allowed roosters in my town. Because it was summer, I did not want to keep my little chicks in the house. When the chicks were a month old, I built a little nursery within the chicken courtyard (8'x12' area-no top). They were quite happy there and I did have to modify it initially cause the older girls were curious and would try to fly into the nursery. When I felt that they were big enough to fight back, I removed the nursery walls. It did not take long for them to be integrated. I just last week bought 2 more grown chickens and placed them directly in with my girls and it has only taken 2 days for them to get integrated. I hope you the best with your new babies.
