Easiest stress free way of adding chicks?
Hey all, first time replenishing my flock and as I near the day of integration my anxiety builds.
After much research and discussion with fellow chickeneers I believe I've settled on a method. I'd like to hear what you all have to say about it.
One evening after all the big hens have settled into the coop for the night I'm just going to add the pullets to the roosts and let them wake up together as a big happy family! 😉😊🤣
We have no roosters. Our current hens are 3 years old. There is plenty of room.
What ya'all think?
My main source of info is a long time chickeneer who says this method of all that she's tried is the least dramatic. AAAAND she didn't have to make an additional enclosure within the coop/run, which for me is the hardest part since our coop is on a hill with a massive grade that would require a ton of extra dirt work to make this happen.
