Lovely little chooks

Looking at the size of them I don't think you will be putting them with the adults for another 3 - 4 weeks at least. Probably longer.

It is best to keep them separate until they are virtually at "point of lay" size ..... quite a while yet by the look of them. Then separate the pen so that they can see but not get at each other. They can be wicked with newcomers and these could easily be injured or killed. Need to be big enough to defend themselves and get out of the way.
