chuckmum6 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 My chicks are nearing 5 weeks and I am thinking that maybe when they are 6 weeks they should be fully feathered - so able to cope without their lovely mums. Do I wait until the mums are fed up with them, or move them on anyway? One of my mum's has started to squat when I go near her - so maybe getting ready to lay. I am going to begin to introduce growers pellets over the next few days are the mums ok to eat this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I leave it till mum is looking fed up with the babies. You'll notice the odd bit of pecking and impatience. Then it is time to move them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
