Iv asked before and not got any suggestions I have a moma chicken who sat on eggs that never hatched so I bought 5 4 day old keets they are now 20 days old iv never had baby keets before she has takin very good care of them and VERY protective but for the last week she has seemed to start losing interest They are in a smaller coop that sits butted up to the run of our larger coop and run we seperated her while she still had eggs but now she goes crazy tryin to get back in with the other hens through the fence she is still watching keets but not like she was they seem to be doing great but they hollar and chirp when she walks away from them they want to be right beside her with them still so young im sure its too soon to separate her from them we still have some nights that get in 50s when is a good age for them to be on their own in their own coop until old enough to let out for free range no heat source in their coop we had hoped she would be a good mom our ee rooster with our hens does not like them and a couple bantam hens that I know would kill them so putting them all together is not an option.......any suggestions are much appreciated plz
