do they have enough space to get away from each other? are you able to seperate them but so that they can still see each other but he can't peck her? obviously making sure they both have access to food and water and are both warm enough etc.

 

I don't know much about hatching or 10 week old birds as it's not something I've researched or feel competent to do at this point in my chicken keeping career. I don't think it's something I should embark upon without loads of experience, so I haven't done it yet.

 

Maybe someone with more experience will be along soon.

better to stick to one posting and if you don't get any replies etc, just bump it up by updating it.

 

what's a jagul by the way?

I've locked this topic, Aaron as it's going to get confusing if the same question is being answered in two places. Thanks for posting the link to the other topic, Poet. Hopefully someone with hatching experience will be along to answer your question Aaron.
