I have two "fighting chicken" hens who hatched eggs about one week apart. One family was in a tiny pen, so we put both families together in a large, safe area. But the ladies did NOT get along. After separating them again, one of the moms kept trying to escape and rejoin the flock. She kept calling her chicks and they were going crazy! If we just let her leave, can we put her chicks in with the others, or will the second hen treat them badly? Or should I just wait until the hens decide that they are through with mothering? Right now, the chicks are two and three weeks old.
