I have three 18 week pullets, and two 9 week chicks I’ve had in the process of introductions for a week and a half now. They are getting along well enough in my enclosed garden with minimal pecking or chasing now. I’ve tried a couple times to put them into the run/coop together but the older ones corner and start pecking the crap out of the littles. I have tried putting them in close to night time when they are settling down but that doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Anyone have any suggestions for integrating the newbies? I don’t want them to get hurt. Maybe I’m being too much of a softy, but they FREAK out when the others go after them which makes them want to do it more.
