They are now almost completely feathered. When I 1st got them 3-4 weeks ago the hens seemed aggressive. Tried to peck them and lunged at them. I have been putting the baby Brahmas out during the day in good weather. They are in a completely enclosed pen. The hens have checked them out but didn't pay much attention. Today something changed. All the hens where standing close to the side of the pen all huddled together and the chicks were trying to get close to them on the inside. They were jumping and talking to the hens. There wasn't any aggressive behavior. So will hens accept babies that aren't their owm? I'm affraid to find out. Don't want my babies to get hurt any advice or share experiences would be welcome.
