    Older hens killing 11 week old chicks

    Thanks. What kind of clutter do you use?

    Older hens killing 11 week old chicks

    This is when I put them in the coop with the hens but the pen is their own space.

    What is your set up? I use a pen for the chicks but it doesn’t allow the chicks to go vertical at all.

    Older hens killing 11 week old chicks

    Should I separate them all again into a look but don’t touch situation? I’m so incredibly sad about my dark Brahma.

    Older hens killing 11 week old chicks

    I had them separated for 3 days. In the past that was long enough but that doesn’t seem to be the case this time.

    Older hens killing 11 week old chicks

    I am having a very hard time integrating my chicks with the older hens this time. I started with what we always do and put a covered pen inside the coop so the older hens can see them but cannot touch them.

    What breed are these 4 week old chicks?

    I have my own flock but my friend got chicks from a farm to raise just as babies for her son. She had the option to keep them or return them so she gave them to me to raise. I cannot figure out what breed these three are. Thoughts? The black and white one has hairy feet.

    Golden Laced Polish

    Thank you. This guy who is a wheaten Maran also doesn’t have a waffle yet but he’s huge and a rooster. He is also four months. Do they come in later with some chickens?

    Golden Laced Polish

    Can I ask why this one and the other one I just learned is a rooster do not have their wattles yet? That was the part that was throwing me off. I can’t believe we ended up with two roosters in this batch when they were sexed! 🤦‍♀️

    Golden Laced Polish

    I just learned one of my other four month old chickens is a rooster and now I’m wondering about this one too. Is this Golden Laced Polish a rooster or a hen? It’s harder to tell with these guys. I can’t have a rooster so I will need to rehome the chicken if it is.
