New Coop & 10 Week Old Golden Comet Hens

[dgrhodes]

well, 3/7 climbed up the ladder this evening on their own and when I went out to shut the door, they were roosting, while the others were squawking down in the run. They're getting it, slowly but surely.

Hi everyone! So I put my younger chicks in with my older chicks in the outside pen. It's been 3 days. 2 of the older ones peck at the younger ones occasionally. The two flocks nest separately. Once and awhile the older ones will get up and walk around and that's when they will take a peck or two at the youngins. How long do you think it is before I can feel comfortable that they are safe. Obviously when they start nesting together would be ideal... But do you think they would have done some damage by now?
