Ok so i put my 2 silkies and 2 orps in witht he big girls 3weeks ago due to very hot weather here , they are now 8 weeks old and have been living together in harmony bit of just remember who the boss is but apart fromm that nothing bad at all and the wee babies have become real adventerous , No w today i added two frizzle chicks same age as the babies and to be honest the older hens have accepted them better then the others
they have been in the coop under close watch all day i noticed the baby chicks kept pecking now and again more so when the new ones wanted to huddle in with them , i dont think anything major ! i just went out and checked and noticed them all huddled quietly together in a corner ,my question is this a good thing or would you recomend me bringing the new ones inside should i just let them sort it out between them older hens couldnt care less i will keep checking but i got patio dorrs wide open and cant hear a peep so i figure they are asleep ,please help to put my mind at rest its so sad seeing the new babies trying to fit in
makes me want to just go and cuddle them up !
