We took the other 11 chicks to our sons house yesterday & today I took the one week old chicks out to experience the other hens. The older hen pretty much ignored them after I first put them out. One did keep coming to see. The chicks made themselves right at home, scratching and dust bathing. I did pick up each older hen and held them in the brooder and let the chicks come close to them - All they wanted was out! they were not interested in the chicks. So, I dont think I will have a mamma hen like I did with the Buff Orpington.

Well, the older hens are in the coop for the night, the one week old chicks never did get out of the brooder pen :clap, So.....I shut the door ...
I will go back out after Mountain Men is over.
I think they should do just fine for the night.
