In the Brooder
I have a Polish Roo who is about 8 weeks, and my girls are about 11 weeks. He has his separate area in our garage so he is safe (which was for quarantine), and a separate run. The girls free range.
This boy wants nothing more than to be out there with them (The only time he's not trying to figure out how to get out of there is when they are around his run, then he's happy), but of course, I've got one hen who's not having it.
At what point do I separate HER and let him hang with the other girls who don't mind him at all? Or do I just let her do her dominant thing? I just don't want her to hurt him (we like him very much).
Very new to chickens, and all of this. I did read through a few other posts that seemed similar. I just am feeling overwhelmed at the moment with all of this.
