Chook Me!

finally introduced chickens but...?

We finally got to the point where our original 18 hens and 1 rooster flock and our new batch of 6 chicks are somewhat getting along they were pecked at and attacked as we failed several times to introduce them. finally we decided to let them out of their portable coop we had been keeping them in for a few weeks.they have now been living in the ccop, but they make the older chickens angry because everytime the little ones see the older ones walk by they panic and start flying all over the place.they wont come out of the corner and i think its because they were attacked when they were younger. will they grow out of this or this there a way to break them of this?

1. Nope, but you may keep introducing them.
2. pecking order is in progress.. they will adjust themselves in a couple days or weeks.
