Secrets Unveiled: The Surprising Journey of Brian Whiddon’s Chicks
The young birds are now 2 months old, and almost as large as the chickens. They’ve all been together now for two weeks. But there is still a separation. The young birds all hang out together in one corner or another. The chickens do the same. There is still bullying going on, and none of the younger birds dare stand up for themselves.
When we first placed the pullets in with the chickens, we rolled the entire “chicken condo” we were keeping them in right next to the full-sized chicken coop to give the young birds a familiar environment to stay in – or escape to. And to this day, all seven of the pullets settle into the smaller “condo” at night, while the three hens sleep in the much roomier coop.
