Hello all,

 

I was wondering if it is ok to raise different breeds together? I'm not too sure if chickens are like beta fishes.

It's perfectly fine! I have 4 different breeds in one coop and they're fine together.  welcome-byc.gif

It only becomes an issue if you plan on breeding for pure breds.  If so leg band the different breeds and keep great notes.  Other than that the chickens don't care what breeds their pen mates are.  They are all just birds to them.

 Thank all of you for your replies! I have yet even build a coop, but I'm just doing some research on breeds. So far I like the Orpingtons but I also wanted a Silkie-more as pet. Any feed back?
