Droopy jersey giant chick! Help!

[Sydneyj]

Hi everyone!
So I currently have 8 week old chicks that I’ve been trying to mix in with my adult hens. I’ve been giving them “play dates” to try to get them to get used to each other. This morning however I noticed that one of my jersey giant chicks was looking droopy and just wanted to lay down. She also looked like she couldn’t walk very well. Almost like a drunk person. So I rounded up the chicks and put them back in the brooder. Once she was back in there she perked right up but still walks a little funny. Could it just be cause she was scared of the big hens or is this a sign of something else?

How's you chick doing?

How's you chick doing?

She seems okay I guess. I think she may have just been really scared. It’s hard to tell because when she’s in the brooder she seems fine but bringing her out to run around she seems a little unstable. And her eyes are way bigger than my other jersey giant. Idk if that has anything to do with it or not.

I’m also having a hard time mixing them with my adults. I feel like they will never get along my younger ones are just terrified the whole time and my hens come to attack them. Any pointers?

Maybe @ChickenCanoe can give you some advice on integrating them.
