leopardstar Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I've got two pekin chicks who are four weeks old now. When can I put the mother back in with the others? Will they accept her back in after she's been away for 8 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I think the broody gets fed up with them after about 6 weeks Has she been in sight of the others since the hatching? if so it might be easy to integrate her back with the others, someone will be along soon who knows about these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
