Hello neighbor. I'm sure they will be fine, they may not be in your lap chickens but you will learn each others routine. You can.t grab anything with a handle withouf 16 helpers here at my house. They know I'm not going to hurt them and all kinds of things happen when they are close, cucumbers, worms, baby snakes, really wish they wouldn't kill them. Move slow when your around them and all should go fine.
