My banty pen consists of Elvis, Ethel, and Izzy. I won't go into breeds, because those don't matter - and not like ya'll care anyway.
Izzy went broody three weeks ago, within a week Ethel (the younger of the two) had joined her. Yesterday was day 20, today is 21, and chicks are hatching all over the place, lol.
Now my question is, when they take the chicks down into the run, will Elvis be ok with it? I've read conflicting things about this, some said that they will stay together as a little family (that would be awesome and adorable, but my hopes aren't high), or do you think he'd get really aggressive and kill the chicks?
