Chicks in run with the flock?

[frontyard chickens]

Thanks! The black game hen, Jane, came to us as a lost bird and I put her in the coop as a fox was in pursuit of her. We had Buff Orp., EE and Bard Rocks. She has become the best bird. She's very smart, has finally warmed up to me and I knew she would be a great mother and took advantage of her going broody recently. And she is a great little layer of eggs. It is so rewarding to watch her teaching her two chicks (Red Stars). We named her Plain Jane but she is not plain anymore she is spectacular!

Awww she sounds great

Update- Everyone is now on one type of starter non-medicated feed. No one is picking on the chicks. And when the chicks are out of the run I don't leave them ... I feel like their Secret Service detail. One of our dogs helps to guard the group as well.
