Separation anxiety

[DLV58]

Learning about my girls has been so fun!

I have 2 chicks that are 2wks old, they hate to be apart!
Will they be that attached to each other as they get older?
I also have 3 girls that are almost 5.5 wks old,
when moving them, the last one alone always raises a ruckus.
I was surprised that they need each other so much!

Birds of a feather really do flock together! The chicks we raised from week old babies still travel around the yard together at 12 weeks, and the other groups of chickens stay with the other chickens they grew up with as well. It isn't as traumatic as it was when they were tiny babies and freaked out when one of them was out of the bin, but they are still very in sync.
