Newbie Freak Out!

[urban orpington]

Im interested in this as we have just introduced 2 - 12 week olds to 2-6-month olds and they are squawking like mad and the older ones are chasing the younger ones around and the younger ones hide in the coop. We've put in another bowl of food and water but its hard to watch and hear : (

Yeah, I am aware that there's a certain amount of chasing and pecking takes place but the new girls' standard of living was awful. They were hiding in the coop refusing to move out of fear. We'll see how the new arrangement works out.
