Hi all,
I need some advice on if an integration of 2 small adult flocks might be possible without setting myself up for some major problems.
I currently have one very large heavy duty dog run that is divided in half with each half having their own coop. The coops are both on the small size. OverEZ is notorious for misleading on how many chickens will fit in their coops. And being a newbie I fell for a very expensive mistake. Anyway, the one side has a flock of 5 adults and the one has 6 adults, 2 of which are Brahmas. Tge Brahms side has a larger coop than the other side. Their partition has face to face contact and I've even seen them peck at each other through the fence. They are all very close in age. Around a year old.
Is it possible to remove a section of the partition and integrate these two flocks without major wars breaking out. If so, how in the world would it work out with the 2 coops. Sorry for the long post.
