Ok put 6 week old baby bantams n chicken house and only had two hens so I figured it would be ok the babies would be ok .that the there would be a little bit of pecking and then they would be fine . Well that did happen but then I realized that Scream my Americana had up and decided that they were all hers ! Big Girl my Mass Barred Rck could care less . Ok fine and dandy ..... now four months later she is still being mommy ! The Cochin Bantams r full grown ( gave four baby roos away kept two) and have ten girls . Roos r crowing and girls are getting a little red to face . They r about a third to maybe half her size and I thnk she thinks that they r still babies !!! What do I do ??? Help !!!
. But I suspect a time will come when the "babies" have had enough and will make that clear to her all by themselves
and Welcome To BYC! What everybody else said, they'll sort themselves out eventually.
