In the Brooder
I have 2 BO's that are 2 1/2 weeks old and a pair of Brown Leghorns and a pair of Cuckoo Marans that are 6 weeks. I decided to put the little ones in with the others this weekend but stood by to pull them if it got ugly.
The largest Leghorn went to check out the new roommates and the largest BO puffed up and backed that larger hen up. They all kept their distance for the next two hours. I'll be keeping the BO's in the brooder at night for at least another week to keep them warm, but am not concerned about them handling themselves.
