I have come up with my solution. The established hens are in a separate pen divided by their feeder and waterer. Giving the newer chickens a bit larger area. This is the best I could do. I could have sold the hens and had offers. I love my chickens and didn't want to part with them if I...

Unfortunately no, but that is why I won't be gone longer than 3 days. I do have cameras in the coop area.

So I run them separately the 3 hens then the 10 chicks. Why I am so insistent on getting them integrated is the chicks are much bigger than I anticipated. They need more room. They will have enough once they all get along. Also I want to be able to leave them for 3 days to get away with our...

Here is the complete size of the yard. We live in an RV park and there are restrictions. They have bushes to hide. I am working on making a separate yard for the chicks. I have to put up an ivy privacy fence so we don't bother neighbors.

I let them out in our front yard. However when I let all of them out all 13 it's the same scenerio.

I have a total of 13 chickens in a 45 Sq foot for the coop. From what I read that should be adequate.

Sure. We have 45 square feet. One of the feed stations is close to the house where they go up to hide. Not visible in this shot but it is to the right.

Well I have asked in BYC earlier today. We are in agreement that they are some type of dual purpose breed. I thought I was buying Barred Rocks but now I don't know what I have. They will be 3 months old May 17, 2023.

I do have separated food and water stations but the older hens patrol all the stations. The new chickens are 2 months old but are twice as big as the sexlink hens. These seem to be mutant chickens. I have 8 pullets and 2 roosters. The roosters were crowing at a little over a month.

I have 3 golden sexlink girls from last year. They keep herding my new chickens into a corner and won't let them eat or drink. I kept them separated but next to each other for over a month. I understand pecking order but this seems to be extreme. I let the sexlinks out for over 4 hours a day...
