Moving the Littles in

[jenjack72]

So, the littles have spent three nights in the big coop with the big girls. The only prblem is I have a Barred Rock that is somewhat of a bully and she has been sitting in the doorway every night and the little girls are scared tongobin, so y husband and I have been manually putting the littles in the coop. The Littles want to go it the big coop. Any suggestions? Should I just keep putting them in and hope my feisty Barred Rock will back off and let them go in on their own eventually?

Keep putting them in. If you see too much aggression go back to separating them out at night.

Might wait it out. The urge to roost is powerful, and mean old bid die will eventually give up her post and roost, and the younger birds will tiptoe in,like teenagers sneaking in after curfew.
