My chooks lay and raise their chicks with all the other chooks and have no problems.

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Returning a mother hen back to the flock
I would like to return my mother hen(s) back to the flock after the chicks are a couple weeks old because I do not have enough small individual pens to accommodate all the hens who incubated my hatching eggs and this way I would like to keep all the chicks together in one pen. I tried it on the oldest batch of chicks and discovered that this is not that easy. My rooster will not accept the hen back and is terrorizing her so I am going to separate him. Also, I feel guilty for separating her from the chicks and it is heart wrenching to watch her devotion. Does anyone have any tips on this?
Thanks, Jennie
