Hovering Mama
Hatching

I had 3 mama’s brood at the same time. I’ve kept them in separate chick runs, but the mama’s seem to want to attack each other. The non mothering hens and fathering roosters could care less, but the new mom’s aren’t having it! Not sure when to or how to reintroduce the 3 mama’s and their combined 45 new chicks! I was thinking one set at a time. ? Suggestions? Has anyone introduced more than one mama and their chicks before? It’s my first time with brooding hens and I haven’t read anywhere that anyone’s had this experience with more than one mama. The mama’s were raised together, were nesting neighbors, but since their chicks hatched, now get very aggressive when they are able to get near each other. Hence, why they each have separate chick runs now.
Thanks for your knowledge!
