The article links you included show pics of chicks and hens being able to see each other, so that seems to me the best option. I'll separate the run with wire or something...;)
ok, that's helpful, thanks!
I can't supply them with a heat lamp unless i use extension lead, or should i just put more bedding in?
There are 11 chicks, so hopefully they could use the heat from their own bodies?
Also, the cochin may pick on them, it is quite lively atm, so...
I have one marans cockerel with a cochin pullet
They are 10 weeks, and the cockerel has started to crow, and has also started to bully the cochin...
i can't keep cockerels where i am and i know a farm i can give it to asap, but will the pullet be unhappy on its own for 3-4 weeks?
I have 2 week...
