I have a hen with 4, 10 day old chicks. I also have a flock which contains 4 boven hens, two big buff orpingtons, and one litter white bantem. The main flock sleeps in a coop about 4 by 6 feet, plenty of roosting and nesting space. I am wondering, and want to get as many opinions as I can. Can the hen and her chicks Br safe in the coop with the main flock. My only concern is if I don't wake up early enough, there could be a squabble in the coop in the morning, or will the broody hen protect the chicks till I can let them out. Please help me
