    Can I add day old chicks added to the flock?

    My Black Australorp hens always want to kill chicks, even their own, so I have to wait until my new chicks get to be about 5 or 6 weeks old to let them be together. Until then, I had the new ones in a gated chicken wire enclosure inside the chicken house so they can get used to seeing each...
