Crossing the Road
hey guys! so my button hen Nova has 6 button chicks, and they are just over 3 weeks old (almost fully feathered... just getting a mowhawk on their heads) . I had to separate the ale, because he wasn't good with the chicks, and I have tried to re-introduce him several times, but I was always unsuccessful.(he is too rough on them) and now he seems to be getting depressed without his mate, so my question is: when should I separate the chicks and put the male back in with the hen? I don't want to stress the momma or chicks out by separating them, but I don't want my male to get sick or really sad either What would you do?
