marrying two flocks

[juliacale]

My chicks are about 5 weeks now and the older flock still picks on them. My RIR will actually lunge after them, seemingly trying to kill them.

How can I get them to get along? will they ever?

The coop is divided in two right now so they can't get to each other.

Well, once the little ones are about the same size as the big ones, you can put them together, since they already can see each other. They will fight though but things will settle down in a few weeks.

I agree, just alittle more time til they are about the same size....I just introduced 3 month olds, 4 month olds to my flock...don't seem to get picked on as much if you wait some....
