I had a broody hen and allowed her to sit on 8 eggs. Only two hatched and right now they are just over two weeks old. At the same time, I hatched 7 eggs in the incubator so these chicks are all the same age. Right now, I have 7 chicks in our brooder in the home and the two with mom hen are in their own brooder box that is in our chicken run. I allow them full access to the run so they can stretch their legs for about an hour a day. When I do this, I lock out the other chickens and rooster in a large separate area. My question is, I would love to put all of the baby chicks together in the brooder indoors but I don’t want to devastate the chicks or the momma hen. Can I do this and the dust will settle quickly or will I upset them? Thank you for any responses that have gone through something similar.
