I'm new to raising chickens. We have 7 pullets (about 15 weeks) and a couple of weeks ago introduced 3 chicks (about 6 weeks). The chicks stay inside the henhouse and won't go outside with the others when the door is open, unless I physically put them out. My question, will they eventually go outside on their own when they get older and bigger? Thanks in advance!

Are the older birds excessively aggressive to the smaller birds? Are there places for the younger birds to hide outside of the coop?
No, they aren't aggressive toward the younger ones. Once in awhile one may take some steps toward them but no pecking or aggression.
