I might be even more cautious than just watching for the first day...I have had too many babies attacked by other hens over the years, and I'm not sure whether one day's observation would be enough. But certainly as the chicks get older and older, they also are less fragile, and they also get better at learning to stay away from other hens. I wonder if certain breeds are notorious for being vicious to other hens' babies. And also if certain breeds are dependably nice to other hens chicks...
