Hi all! I was seeking advice on how to introduce my 6-week old chicks to a single laying hen that is a little over a year old. This hen is the sole survivor of a brutal raccoon and eagle attack on our flock last year. She has a lame leg and just hops around everywhere she needs to go. She's so sweet and has been through a lot. She sometimes flies out of the coop and goes to visit the chicks. My question is...Is it safe for her for me to put the babies in with her? I'm a little worried they may bully her as they get bigger. Would introducing them while they are still young be a better option than waiting?
