@Katniss_Everdeen How have you gone so far with previous peoples suggestions? Hopefully it is all working out well for your gorgeous little Silkies!
Have you added multiple feed and water stations and hiding places for the younger ones to escape being bullied?
It would be difficult to get them all to get along since you introduced the youngers to the older chicken's coop so they may think the younger ones are taking over their space and food and water and bully them. Lucky you have 3 cute little fluffies that can huddle together.
Just wondering your set up for your other chickens? Do they have a roost and can you add another roost in that area for the younger ones? Do you have enough coop space for the amount of chickens you have?
I only have owned Silkies but I have only raised Silkies with a broody hen so I don't know about teaching them to do things since mother hen takes care of all that, but you have other chickens so the younger ones should learn from the older ones I would think. Mine all roost and it is best/ most healthy I think for them to roost instead of pile up on top of their poop. Can you add a low roost for them in the coop with the others?
