2 or more flocks/pens free ranging together

[kaywould]

I have my main pen with a rooster. I also have some other breeds for which I keep a rooster and like to keep those breeds separated so I can get pure-bred hatching eggs or chicks of those breeds.
I currently keep different breeds in their own pens/runs and don't let anyone free range outside their run. I'm moving soon and will be able to put fencing up to let them more safely free range.
My question is will it be possible to let different pens/flocks free range together or should I alternate which pens free range on different days in order to keep them separated?

You could keep the respective cock birds in their own run, and lets the hens free range together or do as you suggest and let each breed have their own free range time.

If you want to keep your eggs true---NEVER allow different breeds to free-range together---if you do----one hook-up with a rooster to the wrong breed hen----messes her up for weeks--as far as true eggs. I alternate or just bring some greens to the pens.

That would be the easiest and 'safest'.
