Well kind of good news, i posted a pic of my Orpington and her chicks on a facebook page (just for people to look) and the woman who i baught the mother orpington off messaged me and said that she would like one of the cockerel chicks of either breed to go in a breeding pen with hens of the same breed. The reason i said "kind of good news" is because iv'e only ever once swapped a hen wiht my friend but i get to see her and i have never ever given away soemthing i will most likleys not see again. Im scared incase the chicks dosen't want to leave me and gets picked on by the other hens he goes to live with.... am i over worrying?!, if he stayed with me he has his brother and dad as compatition for the hens...

I think you should be excited. If he's going in the breeding pen them he will have all those hens to himself. And I'm sure that would make him happy. If the hens pick on him I'm sure the lady would let you know.

don't they usually get picked on when they are young? then when they get big a strong adults they know its time to take charge??
 
Well here's what you do. When they hatch, that night you sneak into the chicken coop. All the chickens will be sleeping and won't know your there. You go ove to your broody, pop the chicks under her, and she will just think that her eggs hatched.
