Hi all

We have a silke x cockeral who is now 12 weeks old,he was born inside and has been off the lamp since he was 5 weeks old,he has been in a room with no heating and was just wondering when he would be able to go outside,the plan is for him to go with our 7 hens,what would be the best way to introduce him to them.

Thanks

If he is well feathered and the shed they are in is cosy I would put him out with them any time.  Put him in at night when they have gone to bed and he should be accepted by them quite happily.
