Juveniles should deffinatley be tried as adults because, its not like they dont know what they are doing. Now a days people are smarter than you think, with the increase in technology, you cant take anyone for granite.e responsible for what you did! Minors should be tried as adults because they made the same mistakes as adults. If they had the guts to break the law they should have the responsibility to face what they did.
You can leave the chicks with the mother but it will only last 4 to 8 weeks. Usually, it's the mother hen who wants to wean them and get back to her flock. In warm weather, you don't really need a heat lamp, but get a secure pen and chick starter until they're 20 weeks old.
I will feed almost any combination of foods (starter, grower etc) to any age hens, but the one thing I will not do is feed layer feed to pullets under the age of 18 weeks. Enjoying my 10-acres in the country with 100+ chickens and turkeys!y chicks are at 4 weeks now,its great to see them change to there breed ie the feathers turning and there characters.Could anyone tell me at what age do you change from Chick crumbs to growers pellets as ime unsure when to change. Why pay somebody else to do what you can do yourself !!!So have ago.
