We have 3 Welsummer bantam chicks that are coming up to 10 weeks old. They've been sleeping in a kennel with the mum who sat on the eggs, but mum is obviously keen to go back to the regular roost at night now. The problem is that the other hens are being quite nasty to her now, and chase her out when she tries to go in. My question is, at what age should the chicks start roosting at night? When it's time we'll remove the worst offenders for a while from the main roost to give them a bit more of a chance of being accepted at night.
Thanks!
Thanks!
