In the Brooder
I have 7 week chicks who are completely feathered but obviously still very small in comparison to my older hens. So right now I only have 2 hens, the more dominant hen is broody right now and the other one is just hanging by herself. The one who is not broody just lost her friend last week(hit by a car) and she seems fine but I feel bad for her. I have these 7 week chicks that I'd love to take out but when I tried earlier this week one of the babies actually tried to peck her and almost started a fight. My chickens free range so I don't have a run, just a coop that they go in to sleep and lay eggs. Any suggestions???
