Firstborn and her five babies ate medicated starter along
with hardboiled eggs and some bread. I did not worm those
peachicks until they were four weeks old. They were kept in
a secure minicoop until six weeks old and then moved back
home to the pen where eggs were laid and incubated. The
peachicks' father and another peahen are there, too.
Firstborn is dominant and chased the other peahen.
Do not let any wet food be with the peachicks very long
because it can spoil and make them sick.
------
When Malice wanted to incubate eggs I removed those eggs to
henhouse. Malice is violent enough without peachicks and I
do NOT want to find out how much trouble there would be if
she could have peachicks to protect.
