My game hen hatched off babies 6 weeks ago today and I am wondering when it will be ok to remove her from the babies and put her back in with her hubby? Hubby's other wife just went to setting Wednesday and I think he could be lonely without both his ladies.
Is 6 weeks still too young to be away from their real good mommy?
Advice please as this is my 1st experience with a broody! They are in a chicken tractor now, and my other broody will need it in almost 3 weeks. Should I wait? At what age will the chicks be before mommy will tell them they are on their own? She went back to laying alittle over a week ago if that matters.
