    Introducing to an established flock

I don't know if this is the best technique but I usually every day for about 20-30 minutes put the young ones in with the big ones. I watch them to see how they do. a way I do it is...

    What are these spots???

    Hello, so my roosters have been getting these weird spots on their combs and waddles and I have no clue what they are or from. Some of my hens have a little bit also but nowhere near like my roosters. Any ideas on what this is?

    making a new breed of chicken. Any advice?

    No, I meant that I would be trying to breed more of them to get a bigger flock, and then work from there. I probably should have worded( making a new breed in the spring) differently. sorry. how would I fix traits so they aren't just mutts.

    6 month old Ameraucana not laying yet?

    i had something like that with my ameraucana. I later found out that they are slower to mature and usually don't start laying until 8 months old. that's what mine did. so you may have a little while until she starts to lay. she might start early or late.
