I have 3 golden sexlink girls from last year. They keep herding my new chickens into a corner and won't let them eat or drink. I kept them separated but next to each other for over a month. I understand pecking order but this seems to be extreme. I let the sexlinks out for over 4 hours a day to run in the yard. This gives the new flock a chance to get water and food. When I bring the sexlinks ( or what I call them Atila the hens) back in, they again herd the new flock into a corner. I do put up a barrier between the two flocks at night but really need everyone to get along. I have a limited coop area. I need the whole coop for everyone. I have been trying to incorporate the two flocks for over a week. Any suggestions are welcomed.
