In the Brooder
I have 3 silkies that are almost 6 weeks old. They've been out in the coop for 3 weeks. A week ago got 12 day old LF chicks of a few different varieties. I planned to put a divider between them until they got used to eachother. Today I decided to put them all together in the coop and see how it went, More out of curiousity than anything else. I watched them for about 30 minutes and there were no problems! A couple of the younger chicks stretched up their necks at the silkies and seemed to challenge them but one quick peck on the head put them in their place and that was that! I put the divider up anyway because I was nervous to leave them. What do you guys think? Was I being paranoid? Would problems arise immediately if they were going to come up?
