I can't they are getting to big for there chick cage thingy

If they were chicks, you should put them separate until they are a bit bigger. Maybe keep them separate for a month then they should be okay

How big is the coop and run you are trying to move them into? How large is the run the young ones are in now?

Can you get a better picture of your young EE? It could be a cockerel.

I will take a picture of the coop but I am going to expand so...

Are you willing to make time to watch and train them? This may take days with you able to observe them. You can train them by placing them all in a large metal cage. Tie a few tin cans to a large stick, then tie the stick to a string and put the stick outside the cage. Run the string through the cage, then back out, so when you pull on the string, the stick with the tin cans hits the outside of the cage and will scare the birds. Then run the string to somewhere you can see the birds but they can't see you. (Through a window into your house would work great.) When you see the chicks being picked on you can yank on the string and give them all a good fright for fighting.

You could try integrating the big birds one at a time. Take one large bird and put it in with the chicks alone, out of sight of the other big birds. It makes the lone chicken more vulnerable, and may be less likely to attack. Once the first one is integrated well you can add the second and then the third. This will still take a while, though, possibly weeks.

I'm not really sure what else you could do if you don't have and are unwilling to make a large space available for them to work out their differences without harming each other.
