I have noticed for the past week my hen has been acting aggervated by her chicks. Moving away from them and pecking at them and always trying to find ways out of her cage. The chicks are 5 week old silkies are big and healthy so I decided to remove my hen from her 6 5 week old chicks and place her back with her rooster. My question is will the chicks be okay? will they be able to make it though the winter this young? without a heating lamp because I am unable to run heating lamps to them?
Wanted to add ill be giving 3 of the chicks to my aunt so they will only be 3 left.
