Yeah I built a coop awhile back but I had to shut it down for awhile until I could fix some stuff. Also my girl got really sick the other one can't really fight her because she doesn't have a beak either way... So it's kind of stupid to see her try and attack the small chickens. Since my girl has been sick and it's been storming a lot they usually stay inside and I'll let them out during the day. But there are a lot of factors preventing me from keeping these 2 out 24/7. My coop remodeling, the heat, she's very sick. The vet said it would be a good idea to keep her inside because of heat stress. I had them outside today but it started to storm really bad so I called them in. I really try take care of these girls and don't want them outside in a storm again for many factors but it may just me being paranoid. They may not care about a storm as much as I worry about them getting stuck in the mudin where they like to hide or them getting hurt by something I don't know but I called them inside. I give them things to play with or peck at when I leave them inside, at one time I let them watch Netflix LOL but they weren't too interested. I am trying to introduce the birds but honestly I can't have them killing each other. If they do that I'm going to eat them lol as for the little girls I have them in a little homemade cage I made out of mesh and a box with a heating blanket until I can get everything situated. I'm working on everything I'm just very tired after work so my progress is very slow...
 
Normal to be worried,If I see anything off I freak out.
Heat stress can be caused,but once she heals you really might wanna keep them outside.As long as they have proper ventilation you’ll be good,also a fan,that helps a bunch.I just installed my fan I install every summer and it seems to calm the chickens as well helps with their ventilation.I doubt they will kill the chicks but definitely will be hard on them,it’s only normal.Once the chicks get a certain age things will calm down,if their just chasing at them and giving light pecks on he back that’s normal they probably will always chase each other over feed and water.
