I had a quick question, I have 6 chicks and 2 adults and 3 of the chick are ready to go to the coop but the adults keep pecking them and setting their feathers. So I'm not sure if I should put them out there yet. What am I supposed to do with the chicks? And how do I make the adults not peck them?

The pecking is natural. You should integrate them with the see but don't touch method. Here is an article that will help you: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/adding-to-your-flock
