Hello! I have 1, 4 week old chick and 2, 6 week old chicks that are in an outside brooder inside of our chicken run. Sorry if that’s confusing I put a door on the brooder and created a miniature run for them inside of the other run so that my older flock and the babies can see each other without being able to attack each other. That has been there for about a week.
So this morning I tried to let them out of the mini run and the older ones completely freaked out trying to attack the little ones and chasing them all over the coop!!
So my question now is, what should my next step be? After separating them for a week, how should I introduce them face to face? Should I introduce them one by one, by putting an older chicken into the baby run?
Thank you for any replies! I’d also like to mention that I do have hiding places in the older run.
