We put our 6 week olds and 4 week olds together yesterday. We put them straight into the run and sat out with them for about 2 hours watching. A few pecks, but mostly it went fine. No aggression or chasing or anything. After a few hours the youngest went inside the coop and haven't come out since. They have food and water in there. They slept in there last night with the older chicks and did fine. But the youngsters still act scared to death and hide in the coop. Do I need to force them out into the run or leave them be? The older ones come in and out of the coop all day so they go in and interact peacefully. I just feel bad the babies are so scared.
