Saturday my 2 silkies started hatching chicks, latest one this morning. They stole eggs the past few weeks so lots of hatch dates. I've put most eggs in the incubator since most don't fit under and will stick under a hen when it pips or chirps.
I had them all together but Sunday my Barred Rock sat on my silkies head then dropped an egg beside her and then accidently stepped on a chick. I've separated them for now. I have an Americauna rooster, 1 Barred Rock (top hen), 2 Easter Eggers, 2 Highland Browns, 2 Silkies, and 8 chicks. When is it ok to reintroduce them?
