Reggie separated because he and hens are molting. During integration of hens, 2 hens got into a spat inside the coop. Here is his surprised expression.

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).

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.

Altered coop so it has a lot more ventilation at the top and can stand upright in the coop (in the center). Removed the fenced in front and turned it into coop space, so now the coop is twice the size (to accommodate newbies).

Only way to divide this coop in half (the way it was built) is as shown. The original flock must have the side with the nesting boxes.

Altered the run on the right side to 6' tall (from 4'). Enjoying the freedom to walk around vs always bending over. The recently acquired pullets are in the 10x10 cage in that little coop. They have really outgrown that coop but don't seem to be aware of it.

5/22/16 Friendlier to us now, she is very sweet, and it is hard to imagine her always chasing Hermoine AKA Tricky around. Tricky is on the bottom of the pecking order.

5/22/16 Back area is getting these little weird feathers here and there. She is getting a lot more under her wings, and on the front and back of her neck.

5/22/16 In her area (she goes in the carrier and into the house at night, where we can walk around in a wire dog cage). She goes to bed at 8:00 pm and is up by 7:30 am when she jumps onto my lap for a little petting and to be taken outside.

5/22/16 The gang, and Hilde (on her side). Looks like she has everything but they have another run with all the "comforts of home".

5/14/16 Six days have passed and feathers are sporadically re-growing. Sectioned off a portion of the run so she has more room and some "comforts of home".

5/8/16 Hilde AKA bare butt has let Mattie AKA google eyes (because until recently she has been wearing pin-less peepers) pull her feathers out ... she just stands there and allows it. She had an apron on until recently, and when we took that off we noticed there were no feathers beneath. So we believe Mattie has been lifting her apron and picking her feathers. Now little bare butt (not on the bottom of the pecking order) has been separated so she can re-grow feathers.
