chickens keep pecking each other

[alistar007]

i have 6 chicks, and they all keep pecking at the two youngest ones that i just put in the same coop with them. The two are always hiding in the corner from the others. Is there anything i can do to make them stop, or anything i can out on them??

Ok, you put the two news ones in too quick without an integration period. See my BYC page for intergration techniques. You may not need to do the same time frame because they are all chicks, but they need an introduction period.

Would be best if you could introduce them caged within the coop so they can get used to each other. Even then you may have to slowly get them used to each other personally. This may take several days.
