@purelychickens: ✅Put them in a crate ✅ They need to be there for one week at least. ✅Keep the food away from the edges to avoid an older one sticking their heads in. This could cause injury. ✅ Distract the flock during the release of the chicks. Free range if possible so the older ones go out to forage while the younger ones have a chance to learn the space and explore. Add treat dispensers, extra roosts or ladders to give them something to do if you can’t free range. ✅Add feeders and waterers to avoid the big ones being territorial. I like to add little ones in the corners of the run so the babies can find them. ✅Stay to observe during release of the littles. Make sure there isn’t extreme bullying and that they know where to eat and drink. ✅ Keep them safe at night by putting them back in the brooder or in a small safe space in the coop (they don’t need food and water at night). #chickenflock #newchickens #integratingchickens
