I feel bad now, but truthfully, these little ones will be just as mean when I introduce the next batch.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-74363523710450787592014-07-21T23:15:50.406-04:002014-07-21T23:15:50.406-04:00I had to wait until mine could not fit through the...I had to wait until mine could not fit through the chain link fence of the chicken pen. They still tried. The older hens even tried to get back in to get the little ones.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-91524528476780852962014-07-18T16:55:53.538-04:002014-07-18T16:55:53.538-04:00Your five-week-old chicks are about the size of my...Your five-week-old chicks are about the size of my 12-week-old chicks. That itty-bitty cockfight must have been a sight. It is so hateful of my two mean hens to peck the little ones. Mean is right. <br /><br />I always throw weeds and newly cut grass in their pen. They manage to find bugs in there. Plus, the dirt on roots must have bugs of some kind since the go crazy over the pulled weeds. <br /><br />I made a safe place for my chicks when I put them in with the hens, but I don't think they ever used it. Once, the chicks came to stand on my feet and between my legs for safety. It worked!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
