What age to put hen and chicks back in the flock
« on: June 20, 2014, 07:24:23 pm »
I have a hen who has hatched four chicks.


They are two weeks old now and in the main area with their own little run and house. The other hens and cockerel can see them.


We also have crows and magpies, who are in and out eating the food and steeling the duck eggs who are next door!


Just a bit concerned that they may be attacked Any help appreciated!
