I have a Buff Oprhington hen with 2 chicks. The chicks are about 3 weeks old, and all three are in an enclosure in my barn. My question is, should I remove the hen and put the chicks in a brooder, or just let the hen take care of them. I'm afraid to let the hen out of the enclosure with the chicks because of the barn cats, but I feel bad that she's is cooped up all day.
Also, any tips on sexing the chicks? The father is a Buff Laced Polish, and one of the chicks is growing a mowhawk already...
