    Combining sizes

    When I tried to put my bantam silkies in the coop with my standards, the bantams got chased around so much I was worried they weren't able to get any food or water. Do you think it's okay to put them together?

    Dead rooster

    The chickens didn't go back to the new coop. They went to the old coop but the door was closed so they roosted on the fence.

    New coop

    Built a bigger coop across the yard from old one. Chickens crowd around the old one at night to roost even though I've kept them inside the new coop for a couple days to adjust. Do I need to keep them in the new one longer or are there any other tricks? Can't remove old coop.
