HELP! I have 4 BO that are 12 weeks and a BR, 2 Cochins that are 8 wks, and finally 4 GLW<SLW (2 each). The BOs have been in outside coop/run since they were 6wks, the others are still in house waiting to go out. I have let them all outside in my yard quite a bit, but the BOs stay to themselves. They don't seem to have tolerance for the younger girls. I would like them to all be together out in coop/run. By the way the coop is 4x8 and the run so far is 8x8. Any suggestions on how to keep the younger girls from getting pecked!??? I am worried.......thanks Bird Lady
