Need some suggestions with new chicks please

Mrs.Yardbird :

Thank you guys for your help. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 87 degrees here so I'll try catching a few (poor little panting things!) and taking them outside. Hubby thinks we should go ahead and put them in the brooder in the coop. It's a nice big brooder so that the big girls and the new ones can get to know each other without touching for a bit hehe. He said that hopefully they will calm down that way by seeing us handle the big girls.

Thanks again!

If you have a large enough cage, you could take them all out, and set the cage on the ground, then it wouldn't be an all day thing to take them out, and you could be sure everyone got to go!​

Walking out the door now to build them an outdoor cage thingy so they can all hang out in the yard. I figured chasing around 4-6 chicks at a time would just aggrivate me eventually lol. Hubby is working on the brooder in the coop to make sure it's still very secure and the big girls can't hurt the babies when we introduce them.

Thank you all again! Hopefully they get out of their "I'm terrified of the big people" stage
