Are they ready for the run?
Our take
Are your feathered friends ready for the run? At around two months old and fully feathered, it's a cluck-tastic milestone! However, size matters when considering their safety among the other hens—and, of course, that chill rooster. Introducing younger chickens to an established flock can be a bit like a game of fowl hide-and-seek; it requires careful planning! While your rooster may be mostly relaxed, it's essential to monitor the dynamics as new chicks join the party. Will they be pecked at or welcomed with open wings? In this whimsical chicken saga, let’s explore the best practices for a smooth introduction to ensure everyone's happy and safe in the run! Your feathered friends deserve a joyful environment, after all!
