Hi, i am new to chickens - i have two adults and one went broody very soon after getting them so we decided to let her sit on some fertilised eggs and 3 out of the 6 hatched 3 weeks ago and are doing very well.
We seperated our two older girls prior to the chicks hatching - when can i re introduce them?
When can i tell if the chicks are boys or girls? i think one is a boy already as it has a reder crest and is slightly bigger.
If they are boys, how to people tend to get rid of them as i dont want to keep a cockeril in an urban evironment but i dont really want to kill them either.
When will the 'mum' start to lay again?
Thanks for your help, im sure ill have more questions soon!
