Multiple mamas

[TeachMEchickens]

I had two hens hatch eggs within two days (and another due in a couple of weeks). I want to keep them separate from the rest of the flock for feeding and so that they don't get trampled by my big roosters. Can more than one mama and her brood live together or will they fight?

Sometimes they can. A lot depends on the amount of space they have and the temperament of the hens involved.

It just depends on the mammas. I have seen it where 2 mommas will raise them together and take turns so the other can eat and such.
