Pullets trying to integrate. Planning to leave them separated for 7 more weeks, when the pullets will be 5 months old. Our rooster was about 1/2" from cage where they meet and Daisy (the friendliest pullet) pecked at him. lol. He seems to take quite the interest in the buff orpington and she in him. Happy how it is going so far. Tinker bell (leghorn) seems to enjoy the move the most, making herself right at home. She hopped onto the center roost right beside the screen and was quite content, while the others decided they would sleep in the doorway ... neither in or out. We helped them in and shut the door (which is screen). Weather really nice right now so imagine everyone thought they moved somewhere great. In morning, all were on roost (probably saw how the old flock sleep).

The meet under the coop divided by hardware cloth, and can meet in the coop divided by same.

The back of the coop (people door).

8/13/16 Removed the 10x10 cage and put the new pullets into the right side. They are divided from the others at the bottom, separated by hardware cloth. Seem to like the run and keep going up to peek into the coop, but keep coming down.
