That's the thing,,,, one never knows/ Nothing ventured nothing gained. I would slip the older chicks one at a time. When Hen is asleep in behind her. I dont think it will work. But stranger things have happened. I've had weird things happen, sad things, miraculous things. There are no hard...
I did catch the peacock and put him in the broody house. which is a bit warmer than the barn. He is starting to grow a new tail, vibrant colors, he is missing a toe from before I got him it got froze. I can't see anything wrong with him.
