I have a BO Momma Hen and her five 6 week old babies, 3 BOs, 2 crossbreed batams. They are really starting to become a handful in the house and I'd like to put them in the coop, (20 standard hens and a roo). I am worried about the other chickens attacking the babies once Momma pushes them away. I am also worried about momma getting them in to the coop at night as there is a ramp, also how could I do the feed?
Here is a few pics of my coop, the larger pen is usually closed unless I am home.

Edit: The hen and her chick have free-ranged together and they were great, mother was very protective.
