so i had 2 coops set up side to side; one is chicks (2 roosters and 1 hen) that were born in may and are now full size, the other is 3 hens that are about 1.5 years old. my two roosters have gotten big enough to dangerously fight, and i do intend to consolidate both coops... tonight, while my big hens were all sleepy, i stuck the nicer of the roosters in their coop. do you think there's any danger to be had? (help please i'm really worried)

To be honest, you can never really know what will happen, but I highly doubt anything serious will come of it. If anything the older girls will show their new rooster who owns the coop, but I would be very surprised if it resulted in any serious injury.

I agree with you, actually my theory on ASPOM is that it's actually a group of far-left radical extremists, trying to design the most far out, convoluted person possible, and see how far they can take it. It's so ridiculous, everything matches up to the most dangerous, insane combination possible.

Possible, definitely possible.

hey hey so I've had my ladies reblogged a multitude of times and I love this blog, I just had a few questions for you! I have 3 hens, two rhodes island reds and one speckled sussex, and I am soon to be adopting 3 chicks from a school project. They do not know the breed or sex. How would you suggest I introduce these without having any trouble? I want my girls to get along :(

When Riley and Skyler first joined my flock of feathered badassery I went with the “keep wiring between them so they can see each other, but can’t get too close” approach, and it worked beautifully. Two of my hens, Esme and Baby, can be pretty bitchy towards newcomers and I didn’t want any apocalyptic shit to go down without me being there to mediate it. I had a cage set up inside the roost so the younger two could safely sleep with them at night, then moved them back into the run (which was split into two via a Great Wall of Wire for a time until they could get used to each other) during the day.

I don’t know what your coop is like, but if there is any way you can keep them separated with some wire until the younger birds are big enough to hold their own then I would definitely do that. If you can’t, I would keep them somewhere else at night but try to let them run around outside the coop with your other birds for a little meet and greet. This way if one of your older chickens reacts badly the younger ones won’t be trapped.

Either way they’ll get used to each other eventually, but it’s always nice if you can make the assimilation a bit smoother.
