We went to Long Beach for the weekend, and the chickens both big and small, were fine. They've now had several opportunities to be together in the yard, and the big ones hardly even seem to notice the little ones. They're certainly not attacking them, which is what I was worried would happen. In this picture, the little ones are in the upper left corner. Neither of them is facing the camera, but I don't think it's because they're shy.
I walked out the back door and caught #2 in the dog crate earlier today. Again, she wasn't even paying attention to them, but it did look like #4 and #5 were both a little overwhelmed by the whole things. #2 got out when I told her to, but she did look like she's now developed a taste for the chick start. As far as I can tell, she won't suffer any ill effects from eating it, but I do want to make sure the little ones get everything they need.
