How should I integrate 3 month old peachicks into the general population?
I have 3 month old peachicks that have been with Mom in an enclosure...but now I need the enclosure for another batch of peachicks. How do I safely integrate them into the general population. I tried this morning, but as soon as I did one of my other peahen started pecking at them.So I put them back in the enclosure without Mom. Should I let them out and hope for the best?
Right now I let Mom out...but she just keeps calling them. I really don't know what to do?Should I just let the peachicks out with the Mom?....Free Range? I also have 2 Males and one other peahen, plus a chicken yard of various chickens,...Barred rocks, Rhode island reds, silkies, etc.. The peachicks are good size for 3 months old, I just don't want them to be picked on
