When they are large enough to withstand the "pecking-order" abuse.

Don't do it based on age alone, the chicks need to be able to hold their own and or run faster than the senior adults in the flock. More of a problem if the birds are confined in a small area than if they are free range. At this time, I have 4 day old chicks in a brooder box, 4 week old chicks in a brooder cage and 9 week old pullets in a holding pen all waiting to join the main flock of 25 free range birds. This will take place in about another month for the largest birds (pullets).

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.
