I ordered 2 barred plymouth rocks, 2 silver laced wyandottes, and 2 speckled sussex because of their wonderful reviews. I am wondering if these chickens will do well together. Am i giving them a fair chance in the pecking order or is one breed going to bully the others? Please help!
 
Welcome to our forum!

Many, many people have mixed flocks like that, and there will be a pecking order even if they are all the same breed. Some breeds seem to tend to be pushier than others, but really, there is a lot of individual personality involved, as well as who the breeder was -- even, how they are growing out this year.

When I had those 3 breeds several years ago, it was the Wyandottes who were the trouble makers. But your experience could be just the opposite.

Good luck!
