I am sure this has been answered many times before but I could not find it. She has been in her own coup with a run and the others have been able to see them and get up to the wire, so they have been aquainted, they are about 4 weeks old now?

I just introduced mommy and babies to the rest of the flock. They did very well. The chicks were about 2 months. I believe they will be fine now if they are introduced to them. The momma will take care of them. She will keep the babies near her. Let us know how they do. Go luck and congratulations on your new babies

We all love babies around here!!

I introduced mine after 2 weeks. The were fine. Mamma was very protective.

Yes, two weeks worked for me as well, but mine all free range. Momma kept the little ones away from the rest for a few weeks after that. She had 14 to look after! wheh! I thought 3 kids was a job.

If the babies are roos then will my adult roo bother them?
