    Since youi only have 2 hens I would probably wait till the chicks are about 3 months old if you wait till the chicks are grown the Hens will have to fit into the pecking order as it is now at 3 or 4 months of age they will be at the top and will probably mix in ok

    I guess my daughter is the Possum queen

    Well he did return last night and I got close enough to smack him with the shovel and he ran off but I didn't hit very hard so I don't think it will deter him from coming back. I am glad I have a fairly possum proof coop. I would have shot him tonight but I didn't think I could get him...
