That'd be my last suggestion, but hopefully this will work for the time being.

So the hens have free range half the day and the chicks the rest of the day? I agree they need to get integrated but obviously it doesn't always go smoothly. When you go on vacation will there be anyone to let the flock out, like a neighbor or friend?
