In the Brooder
So we are trying to integrate our 2 1/2 month old chicks with our older hens and rooster. They all accidentally got integrated yesterday when no one was around to watch them because the small ones enclosure got tore down by one of our older hens. From what I can tell it went ok. No injuries that I could see. But when we tried to put the little ones in the coop last night, our roo who is 4 months old and pretty big, tried to mount one of the little ones. Will it hurt them if he does that since he’s older and bigger? I mean I know it will happen eventually, but didn’t think it would be so soon?
