BROWN SHAVERS

[Jengel]

Hi All

We have just bought 3 new brown shavers around 22 weeks old according to the breeder. We have one hen left from our previous stock and want to know if it is all right for them to be put with her. We have tried a few times and she has jumped on them and started pecking them - I don't want her to hurt them and are keen for them to start bonding together? Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Jude
