I currently have 12 3 month old chickens, and 12 2 month old chickens. I’ve had them separated in different coops side by side for about a month, & finally let the baby chicks in the big coop with the big girls, I’m not seeing any serious pecking, or them keeping the babies from food & water, there are two feeders & waterers, & just what looks to be like a peck here & there to establish a new pecking order, They did fine last night together, & I spent about an hour out there today to see if anyone was getting picked on more than someone else, everything seems ok. I’m nervous though because I have to leave for a day & will be back tomorrow afternoon, the coop is 12’ 30’ & they have plenty of room to stay away from each other. Should I be worried? I just don’t want any deaths while I’m gone. Thanks
