Another good suggestion... hanging a treat like broccoli or head of lettuce JUST out of reach.. so the bigs have to jump for it, giving them both mental and physical enrichment or way to get out some of their energy.

Mind of I ask what you are feeding?

Right now the whole flock is on starter feed rations, with an extra source of calcium available for my layers, “free choice” style above the reach of the chicks. In about 3 weeks the flock will switch over to grower/finisher feed.

Treats include dried meal worms 1-2x/week, fruits&veggies 1-2x/week, and yogurt or scrambled eggs 1-2x/week.

You need to section off part of the coop to integrate these chicks.
Here how I do it......but there are many ways to make the 'tiny doors'.....lattice can work well, or a wire dig crate with a cardboard over door opening with holes cut to chick size.

Thanks for the link and tips!
