Hi,
do bear in mind that if your adult hen has been away from the flock for a while, they will try to dominate it to get higher in the pecking order and peck it, but it should be old enough to deal with it hopefully.
Hi,
first answer:
my broody hen told her brood to leave her alone when they were 6 weeks old.
Second answer:
I had 2 older hens and they took months to accept new chickens into the fold.
Older chickens see any new chickens as intruders and will peck it to death if given the oppurtunity...
