im getting chickens and wanted to start by buying a adult rhode island red and silkie and then whichever goes broody first to be a foster mom for hatchery chicks. if its just two chickens in the coop and then i give one chicks to raise should i separate the two adults? Is it best to leave the mom and her chicks in the coop and take out the other hen or to put the mother and chicks in a separate pen and leave the other hen in the coop? When age should the chick be when the go in the same house with their mom and other hen?
