What age can hens and roosters be put together?
From the time they are day old chicks. There is no reason why they should be separate but many to keep them together. They will establish a pecking order very early, before they can do much damage to each other, the roosters do not usually get too involved in this and will let the hens work it out. The roosters will "bond" until mating becomes an issue then some culling may be needed. Culling does not always mean killing the excess rooster population. Selling the un-needed roosters at auction or local 4H club is always a good option. If you have purchased sexed chicks (all hens) and are adding to the mix late then 4 months is a good benchmark, it gives the hens time to get to know the newcomer.
