They are all asleep, and that lasted about 10 minutes. They came home on May 7th for comparison here is how they fit in that box back then. 
They now take up the entire box and stand about as tall as the sides. Introducing them to the big kids can be a little complicated especially since we have a rooster. Max is a good guy but if anything makes a weird noise or moves to quick he freaks out and well tries to create the new generation. This is hard on the girls who are his size I worry about these girls who are much smaller. For the past month I’ve been taking them and their tub outside and putting them in a fenced in area just outside of the big kid fenced in area. They can look at each other and get used to each other and maybe that will reduce some fighting. The past week or so I’ve been shutting the inner door to the big kids and opening the other inner door so the Littles can get in the inner pen and inside the coop. It just so happens that there is a hen that we believe was injured by Mac in one of his attempts at romance. To keep her safe we have her in a small caged area from night to morning when we come down to let the big kids into the main pen. She is getting better, thanks for asking, but still not well enough to get away from Max. This has worked out with the Littles because they like her and she isn’t fast enough to teach them any hard life lessons. On top of that on several days another one of the hens would be in the inner pen and I wasn’t making a big deal about getting them out. So far so good. If I can rotate enough of the hens in with the Littles they may be fine with each other when the Littles go out full time. For now I’m waiting a few more weeks till the Littles are Max’s size. At least that way they will stand a chance against him and hopefully have learned from the girls to run and don’t make weird noises.
I hate to break this to Max but he is kind of small for his breed and these girls are a breed that is large, they will be larger than him. Look out Max there coming for you!
