Moving Our Chicks

Our chicks have really grown.  We decided that we could put them with our 3 hens and rooster at the barn.  I had read that there is a "pecking order" for chickens so we expected some turmoil.
What seems to work well for us is to keep the baby chicks in a tote in the house, then move them outside to a small pen and coop when the weather warms up and the chicks grow,  and finally move them to the barn for their permanent home.
