I have 2 black sex links with 1 chick each. The chicks hatched 4 days apart. I currently have them separated (see photo) but I would like to release them into the chicken run (summer here in New Zealand) which is quite large for my 4 chickens and 2 chicks.
All 4 chickens normally range free in the garden as the run is for when we go away from the property. Currently the other hen/pullet and the rooster/cockerel are still free ranging but occasionally stop by to check out the chicks.
What I don't know is whether the hens will tolerate each other and not try to kill the others chick.
Any advice would be appreciated.
