Thanks for the advice. I've been trying some new things but they still are not keen to even be close. Head hen even will run all the way across the yard when they're out free ranging to attack one of the babies if she sees them eating. I have spoken to my friend, a fellow chicken lover, and if...

I just measured and both runs are just under 4ft wide. The section under the coop is about 3.5 wide. There is unfortunately no way to make them one run, as the second one is between the contained run and our fence between us and a neighbour, and there are trees there so I can't make it predator...

(the last photo is upside down not sure why but it just shows the crate in there for tonight and now on)

Here are pics! The coop and run, inside view of the contained run, the door I built to go between the runs, and the view of the second run behind the coop/run set up. Tonight for the first time I put their crate into the secure run for the night. They are kind of freaked out as it's a new place...

they're connected through a pop door that I can open and close. I have time afterwork today when there is still light so I'll grab a pic!

the second run isn't safe to sleep in as it's not predator proof (just fenced in) which is why the babies have been going to the shed. I think what I am going to try tomorrow is to actually put the babies' crate into the run of the big girls for the night. That will get them used to sleeping in...

the two new ones are lavender orp and australorp and the older girls are a blue star and a cuckoo marans (she's the head hen).

there's lots of clutter in there, I have two long roosts on one wall, two other shelves on another wall, and some things to step over and under in the run, as well as they have a big dustbath container under the coop. I'll post photos later today when I'm off work. I have connected the runs now...

Hi friends I'm looking for support on this integration process that I've been doing. The two older girls are currently in their regular set up, 17'x3.5' run attached to 16sf coop. Next to them are the babies, now four months old, living in another same size run but I have been taking them into...
