Hi All,
It has been years since I have been a chick mom. I am wondering at what age I can put my chicks in the coop and let them free range all alone.
Also I have an Ancona duck (female) and a Pekin (male). The female could care less about the chicks but the Pekin hates them. He tries to kill them. I have never let the chicks out without supervision or locking him up or both. Will it always be like this? Or will he eventually get used to them? BTW the chicks are Cochins 6 weeks old.
