Is there anything wrong with my chickens sleeping in the nesting box at night? They are about 9 weeks old. As they get older will they move to the roosting poles? I'm a chicken first timer, so I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

We have (had) 4 EE chicks that are now 5 weeks old. This past weekend we had them in the back yard, and a hawk got one of them. The next day a got two 6 week old speckled suxxex pullets. My question is...how long until they get along? One of the suxxex chicks is very bossy, and the 3 EE's...
