Hello all
My first post. Have a question that I have searched the internet for answers but have come up empty.
I have 2 hens sitting on eggs. I have about 15 chickens total and 2 are roosters. I am going to move the mother hens and their eggs into their own enclosure outside the coup so that when the little ones begin to hatch they will be protected until old enough to be with the rest of the flock. Is it OK to keep both mother hens with their chicks in the same enclosure? They will have an area that is 12 feet by 12 feet. I will watch them the best I can when I'm home, but my wife and I have new little one and I have to work so will not be able to out their most of the day. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions?
