We’ve been doing the see don’t touch method for our chickens for about a month and a half maybe two. Our chicks are now 13 weeks and our full grown chickens are 8 months. We’ve tried multiple times to let them come together and get used to each other but the size difference is so large that the older chickens end up terrorizing the babies. We’ve also got a 13 week rooster and a full grown austrolorp that enjoy having standoffs whenever they can. Winter is getting pretty bad here and we need to move the chickens into the big coop soon, but I’m terrified of them getting pecked to death by the bigger chickens, the size difference is so large it worries me. I came down today and one of the babies had gotten through the chicken wire and was in a corner being pecked by all of the full grown ones, so it makes me think that it’s really not safe for them yet. Any tips?
