Adding chickens

[Lenny loves chickens]

So I know how to goin flocks together but I have a flock of 6 now. If i add a flock of 6 chickens more ot with be equal ground and there should be less fighting right.i am only worried about one hen I general she is top of the order RIR she is the protecting chicken of the flock she is like a rooster but female.

If there is only 1 aggressive hen, I would separate her.

All the breeds I got are all docile and calm demeanor for the next batch I hope that will be better

Ah. There will always, or at least, 99% of the time, be fighting between new flocks, it’s just normal.

Make sure they new birds have plenty of room to get away from the existing flock. They will need to work out the new pecking order. A couple feeders and waterers a ways apart could also be a good idea so the new birds would hopefully have a better chance of getting enough food and water, instead of being pushed away by the existing birds. Make sure there is also enough perch space for everyone to roost comfortably.
