I have read many discussions on how to introduce chicks into the flock when they don't have a their mama to protect them. I'm having trouble finding advice on when I should introduce mom and two chicks back into flock. They are two weeks old and I don't think the hen is having much fun being away from the flock. She is losing a lot feathers. I'm feeding her grubs, herbs and adding supplements to water. I took her outside yesterday with her chicks in a fenced area next to the coop and she loved it!
I have found one post where the info said mom would protect the chicks and to just put them in the coop at night and hope for the best. I'm not one to just hope for the best unless that's my only option. Obviously, I'm new at this!
