So I was always told adding straight up baby chicks to a flock of chickens is a bad idea. Not sure if it is or isn't, but you would think its not. I have a flock of 8 Golden Comet laying hens, a few months old (Got them in April), and if I got baby chicks and added them in the flock straight up, would the hens take care of them and protect them, or hurt them and attack them? I know its probably not a good idea to add them in when its cold, if at all, but it was just a thought, and I want to learn as much as I can! Feedback appreciated! Thanks, cheers.
