    Putting chicks together

    I have 5 chicks that have 3 mamas. They have all been in separate areas. Here's my question. They are 4 weeks old today. Still with the mamas. Can I put them all together now in 1 pen without them killing each other or are they too old. I would not be putting the mamas in with them.

    When to block nest

    Hi all this is day 16 for my 3 broody hens. When should I close off the nest to the other hens. I don't want to move the broodies as I had a bad experience with that last time. When do the Brodie's go into their own lockdown. I don't want to close it off too early so they can't get food and water
