My Peahen hatched 4 Peachicks 1.5 weeks ago- I have them in a stall and Momma Hen is raising them.
I have read Peachicks do not have an immune system until 3-4 months old.
my adult Peafowl have never been sick and they typically free range and roost with the chickens.
Do I need to keep the Peachicks away from the chickens and their droppings? If so at what age are they same to co-mingle? Also should I worn the Peachicks if so at what age and what is safe to use as a working agent?
Also should I worm the chickens before I introduce the Peachicks to the free range area?
Any help would be appreciated!
