    Pullets in coop with hens?

    I left a little makeshift nesting box in their enclosed space, but they have actually been choosing to go up in the coop and lay in a corner (not in a nesting box). My coop is about 5’x7’ so there should be enough space for just 5 birds. There are 3 roosting bars and in the summer my older hens...

    Pullets in coop with hens?

    The younger chickens have been in an enclosed part of the run for about a month now. They are separated by wire so they have been able to see each other. They just recently started free renting together and every day gets a little better. I think, like you said, they just need more time. Thank...

    Pullets in coop with hens?

    Thank you so much for the advice! My coop isn’t huge so I’m not sure if the smaller enclosure within the coop will work (although I love this idea). I think I’ll continue to encourage them to go to the separate enclosure within the run until I know that they can definitely get along!

    Pullets in coop with hens?

    Thank you so much for your response! I agree with you, my goal is to also have no one get hurt. My coop is not small, but it’s also not huge. There wouldn’t really be a place for the littles to hide if the older ones were pecking them. Yesterday was the first time I let them ALL free range...

    Hi! I’m a new member (although I’ve been on this website reading different forums many times). (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I’ve had chickens for a little over a year now. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have 3 hens and 2 pullets. (3) What...

    Pullets in coop with hens?

    I have 2 pullets and 3 hens. I have slowly been introducing the pullets with the hens. Today they free ranged all together, and besides a few pecking order squabbles, all went pretty well. Tonight I went to shut the coop door and checked to see if all chickens were there, but only the 3 hens...
