If you are buying chickens and want to keep them with your current flock, it's important to take a few extra steps to make sure the birds don't fight or pick on each other.
- Make sure they are about the same age. Size is not that important. You can mix standard & bantams if they are about the same age. Just don’t mix three-month-olds with mature birds.
- The best and easiest way is to put them in a pen that is new to both your current and new chickens. That way it’s not "yours" or "mine".
- If you do not have an extra coop space try separating them within pen you have or putting a cage in the pen until they become used to each other.
- Remember to pull the spurs on the roosters. Don’t pull spurs until you physically put them together.
- If you have a large outdoor run you might try putting them together in the run during the day and separating them at night in your coop.
- They are going to fight some no matter what you do. So keep an eye on them and remember you’re smarter than they are.
As always, ask further questions in the comment section.

ReplyDeleteDue to limited space, I have to mix different breed of poultry but I am frustrated with their constant cock fighting.
