Hi everyone,
I am new to the chicken world. I have two 13 week old Leghorn/silver Dorking crosses. They have had the coop to themselves for a while. Today I got six 8 week old silver lace Wyandottes, and put them in together while watching to see how the older ones treated the younger ones. The Leghorns were so mean to the Wyandottes, they just started pecking them! I put the Leghorns out side to stop them from pecking the babies, what should I do? Is this just normal and I should put them all together and let them sort it out? Are the 8 week olds too young to be in with the 13 week olds?
Thanks in advance.![Smile :) :)](/styles/byc-smilies/smile.png)
