Con you put baby chicks in the pin with other chicken and a rooster?
Yes and no. When adding new chickens to an existing flock there are many steps and stages. One concern is the possibility of bringing in new germs or diseases. It is best to quarantine new birds for 30 days. Afterwards introducing one of your flock to the new chick while keeping separate for another week. After all of these steps then you can introduce the new flock to the existing flock at night while everyone is roosting. This is the best time for the merging of chickens. New baby chicks that are smaller than the other chickens are in danger of being picked on and destroyed by older chickens. They should be kept in separate area until they are at least 8 weeks old before the merge and then watched carefully. You can also place them in a smaller cage and put this cage in the new coop for several weeks before the merge.

There is only one small difference between the eggs you buy from the grocery store and eat for breakfast and the eggs used to produce chicks. That difference is called a germinal disc.

The germinal disc is so small it is almost invisible to the human eye.

After the rooster has mated with a hen the sperm packet is good for about 10 days. Unlike most creatures the birds do not need fertilizing each time, for each egg. The sperm is stored in the cloaca of the hen for up to 10 days and then needs replenishing. If the rooster has died or otherwise left the flock his progeny may go on for a few more days as the hens eggs will still be fertile until the sperm packet is depleted.

Will a baby rooster crow around an old rooster?
Absolutely yes. The young rooster (cockerel) will make his first practice crows at about 3 to 4 months old and keep going from there.

Roosters use crowing to communicate and the two of them will voice their concerns back and forth all day.
