Our hen with 2 chicks laid an egg yesterday and today in the nest box. I told our friend who lent her to us with eggs. She said the hen is ready to leave the chicks. They are our first clutch and we have another loaner hen with 5 chicks, 3+ weeks old. What do I need to be aware of with the chicks? Also, when to integrate the second clutch with the two 6+ week olds? Thanks.
Oh, the second clutch has been in a large cage next to the run for 4 days and no one seems interested in the other. I thought about putting the large cage in the run tomorrow to monitor the closer reactions.
