    Help! New chicks, can they go outside with hen?

    Well, that didn't go good. I put the oldest chick out with hen, she fluffed up and pecked it twice. So I grabbed it up and put it back inside before she hurt it. Is this normal? For a hen to be mean to baby chick? They are both the same breed, frizzle white bantys.

    Help! New chicks, can they go outside with hen?

They don't seem to care to really want to get warm...

I dont think it's a rat or mouse b/c the cage bars are to small to fit an egg through. I set a live trap under the hutch with an egg as bait...
