So we had a coyote come and kill my mama hen while she and her 7 chicks were free ranging with the flock. the chicks are about 4-5 weeks old and I would say 70% feathered out. they have been living with the rest of the flock in the coop. I was thinking I would give them a small huddle box and fence off underneath my poop board so they could remain with the flock and make integration easier since mom is no longer around to do it for me. I guess does this sound like it will work ok? I am just so **** upset and mad this was our first time with a mama hen raising babies and she was the best **** mom and the leader of my flock. The chicks have been calling and looking for her, just want some ideas and support.
Thanks.
Thanks.
