Mollie333 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi everyone. I hatched 4 light sussex large fowl under a broody Pekin on the 7th July. 3 are cockerels and 1 pullet. When can they leave mum? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Around the from around the 6 weeks mark. She will indicate when she has had enough of them by becoming a bit impatient and pecky with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thanks. At the moment, she is ignoring them a bit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'd say 6-9 weeks she'll start pecking them + pushing them away - you should know Hilary stayed with her chicks for 8 or 9 weeks and still loved them all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
