    Thank you to those who replied! The new hens have become best friends with older ones. After a few days of one hen chasing another the new guys accepted there place in the pecking order and they all eat, drink, and roost together. Everything worked out well without any violence

    I have 4 barred Plymouth rocks that are 5 months old. I got two ameracuanas and a rir yesterday. The barred rocks are chasing, pecking, and squaking at the new chickens. Will they stop fighting? How long will it take if they do? By the way they are all hens no roosters!

    When to expect eggs?

    In the last 2 weeks my pullets combs/wattles have turned a deep red color, have started to become extremely vocal (singing per egg song), and today they are all starting the squat when I go to pet them. My question is when will I expect the first egg?

    The age old question - is this a roo?! LOL

    The key to keeping him social would be to spend lots of time of handling and being around him.

    You can tell the difference of a hen and a rooster at a young age by picking the bird. If they pull there legs towards there body it is a hen. But if they keep them out and strait like in the picture they are a rooster. So by the looks of that picture it is definitely a rooster.
