Can 7 week old chicks stay with grown chickens?
It is generally not recommended to house 7-week-old chicks with fully-grown chickens, as the size and maturity differences can lead to aggression and potential harm to the chicks. It is best to wait until the chicks are closer in size to the adult chickens before integrating them into the same coop. Providing a separate area or enclosure for the chicks to grow and gradually introducing them to the adult flock can help ensure a smoother transition.
