[CHICKENS-101] Re: Releaseing the babies

 

Hi Rita: Integration is always a tough one. The older hens can be merciless toward the younger pullets. One way is to provide a "bolt hole" a place only the smaller ones can get to. This can be as simple as a board they can hide under or duck back into their dog crate.

What and how is a good way to "release" them from the crate, into the coop, with the other 8 hens? We do not have a rooster.
