we finally hatched one little egg!! well ok the mom did but i rescued him!! the other hens were trying to kill it so we brouhgt him in a have him uder a broooder. i was wadering what a good age to reintroduce him to the hens would be? if any
I would suggest letting them see but not contact each other beginning at 5-6 weeks old. By 8 weeks, you can let them together while watching at first as the old chickens will attack the baby in most cases.
thanks robin i hope this will work out but for now he is our little lovely in the house!!!
Enjoy him! I have some information on how I introduced my then chicks to the others on my site at
