Howdy folks, so I have 6 standard chickens that are just about 9 weeks old, I got 3 little silkie chicks (one showgirl) about 3 weeks ago. They are about 4-5 weeks old. I have tried letting them all intermingle while supervised and it’s mostly fine but a few of the big chicks have been pecking on the little silkies, albeit they are very feisty, they are much smaller. Do you think it could work to integrate them to all live together in the same coop and run? Just concerned they could get hurt. Would you recommend keeping them together or would you add a separate coop and run just for silkies? And if I did keep them together any tips? Thank you here are the pics of them I thought this might help to show their photos.
