    I Hate Mmy Mean Ol' Chickens!!!

    sorry to hear this I had the same issue and would only have them mixed with each other when I was around and could jump in and stop an issue takes a long time for them to get along best thing is to wait until they are same size then start mixing slowly for short periods of time I have been doing...

    Is it safe to let chickens out when it's 20 degrees? Cut off temp??

    YES let them out but be sure they have food and water and dry corn when eaten produces heat and leave the coop door open mine have been out on 9 degree snow days:)
