Raising chicks in brooder outside-trouble 😢

My brooder coop is within the existing chicken coop. I just have the bottom 2-3 feet covered and the rest is open to the coop (fencing and HC).

The time has come to integrate!
Littles and bigs together, first day!

Most of the adults are fine with the chicks, just the bottom rung hen chases them. The chicks are learning fast, which one to avoid. The run back into their safe brooder. You can see the 4x4 holes in the panel on the left.
