I have two coops. One with 15 week olds, the other with 9 week olds. My goal is to have the hens together. How difficult is it to get chickens to use a different coop (and for the residents to accept the newbies)?
 
There will be some squaking the first day or two but they adjust quickly once they get the pecking order back under control:>)
 
I have two coops. One for the babies and one for the adults. When I move my babies to the big house its always a few days process. I always move them at night. There will be some fighting but it will settle down soon, Be sure there is enough room so the new ones have a place to get away. Don't worry, it should be fine.
