I read in a poultry magazine that it's okay to put the mother hen and the chicks into the same pen as the rest of the flock. But it doesn't say how old the chicks should be before doing this. I'm not worried about the roosters harming the chicks but I'm not too sure about the other hens. So, my question is how old should the chicks be before joing the rest of the flock and will the other hens harm them? They're Buff Orpingtons and they're mildly mannered, I'm not sure if that makes any difference. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
