Brahma size?

[Cyprus]

I was hoping to raise the chicks with the broody hens with the flock my only
problem is that I have a 50 m electric fence as their run will this kill the chicks?
how old should the chicks be so they don't get injured or die from the shock?
Many thanks Ozkan.

How powerful is the shock from the fence? And how big are the spaces in the fencing?
If the chick is small enough I'd imagine the shock could kill them. If the spaces in the netting are big enough, the chicks would just go through it and then be vulnerable once outside the fencing.

I personally wouldn't put chicks out with any kind of fencing until they are big enough to not get through the fencing.
At that point, the chicks should be big enough to not be severely injured or killed by the shock.

i was thinking that if I turned the power off the hen wont be able to escape but the chiks are small enough to escape. Will they wander or stay close to mum?
Also will crows and kites attack the little chicks?

They will stay pretty close to mum.
Just about anything will attack the chicks. They are easy targets.
