I have 8 new chicks that are now 9 weeks old. I introdused them to my other 4 hens at 5 weeks old. they have been cohabitating in the coop and run for 3 weeks now and the chicks all roost in the nest boxes. I have three and the older hens only use one , the babies have commondered the other two. I shoe them out but they come right back. What should I do. Will they eventualy know that the box is for eggs? there is a plastic egg in there with them.
Thanks
Rick
