> You can put them in the coop with the others but always separate them. Especially chicks with older birds -the hens will kill them most likely. Make them their own enclosed area (with a solid roof so th eothers don't roost and poop ontheir cage)until they are prolly about 2 -3 months before you can let them mingle and that I would only do when I was there. To supervise bully birds.
> I had so many birds in my coop it was just easier to build another coop for babies. I did have an 8' brooder built into the coop but once the birds came out they'd get picked on.
> No more babies for awhile here...yeah, I say that every year. LOL
