Someone has been talking to @BY Bob
Awwww I do that also
The key to having babies and adults together is to provide lots of barriers they can get under away from the adults, also sight barriers so they can get out of the eyesight of big bad adults.
Make sure no place to get caught in a dead end, and multi levels they can hop up on.
My adults will peck mine, but they learn fast which ones to stay away from. But the only way they can learn is by being out in the gang. Mine get integrated as soon as they can run away - about a week or 10 days. I always monitor them but try not to get involved. Tis the way of the chicken.
Awww your hubby has it bad
You need to get him a nice lawn chair to sit in with a cuppa tea (ok a beer), and let him watch them peck and dig about - it’s very therapeutic!
Thank you KellyI hope you slept better last night.

Apologies to anyone I missed - I did have a period of no internet.
She looks like she was having a grand time
Those little miniatures are gonna look full grown in a couple months! Enjoy those littles as much as possible! Good mommas
Roo's are practically banned everywhere in L.A. or OC . When we rehomed our accidental cockerels we had to go to Riverside County and Nevada to re-home. I mean, it's not impossible in some places to have a roo but places around here get saturated w/surplus and most roo's get dispatched. There was a place in Whittier that processed people's Cornish X's and surplus roo's but that was never an option for us!Anybody near Los Angeles, or Orange County California? There is a rooster that needs a new permanent home. His name is Willow, and from what I hear, he’s a good rooster.
