Momma hen started weaning her clutch

[PoppasGrill]

Our new broody momma finally started to separate from the chicks at 5-6 weeks. Seems like a long time, but she has been very attentive with them until this week. She hatched 2, another hen hatched 1 and was killed by something in the night and her other eggs were taken, so we put her hatchling in with the first Momma. Then we bought 6 at Rural King and put them with her,
The chicks are within 2 weeks of each other.

This is a few weeks ago.
We started letting them out with the flock during the day about 2 weeks ago so they know the routine.
Now I’m going to have to get them in a regular coop to call home. Will also have to put in some lower roosting bars until they are able to get up high.
The work never stops

It never does, does it?! What breed are the chicks?

Not sure if this one, but there are 2 of these . Both are white and look like they have mange .
2 black austrlorp
2 that look like golden comet
3 are Brahma lite
three of them are the hatched chicks which are mixed

Have you treated them for mites?
They also may be pecked by the others. I had some pheasant chicks this year, for some reason the poor white pheasants were constantly being pecked by the others to the point we has to separate them as they would have killed them. I got up one morning and one of them had very messy feathers with some missing and was dripping in blood. She's quite happy now though running around outside roosting in the hedges and trees and always comes to see me when she's hungry.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the white one...

Us either, one is worse of than the other. Their bums are extended and featherless at this point, and their legs are thicker than the other chicks . I’ll try to get a better group of pictures. I’m sure there is someone on here that might have an idea.
