My mama hen, Gypsy, hatched out 7 chicks. They're about a week old. One little chick decided it would go on an adventure and got caught in the netting and wire at the base of the pheasants area. She got turned upside down and one of the pheasants started pecking at her toes. I got the little chick free and she was missing 2 1/2 toes on one foot. I think the pheasant thought she had found some worms.
I now have the little cutie inside so I can keep her foot clean and tended to. I grabbed a second little chick to keep her company so she wouldn't be alone.
The foot appears to be healing well and I want it healed before I put them back. Will the mama hen take them back? Or do I now have 2 little chicks to raise myself?
I will hopefully have a few chicks to hatch out in a couple weeks. At what age can I put these together, if I am the one who has to raise these 2.
