Well if they aren't having conniption fits on the other side of the fence from seeing the hens, that I think bodes well!I really appreciate your advice. I never considered the good point that the longer I keep them away from the girls the potential for them to be wild once they are in there. I do let them free range for a couple hours a day after I am home from work. I noticed they like to check out the girls in that pen but so far they just watch them for a little bit and keep on their marry way.
