Good afternoon everyone, I am wondering what sort of breeds of chickens can be mixed into a flock?

I appreciate it. I just heard some breeds have aggressive tendencies. Things like that, is it bologna?

Welcome to BYC!!!
I would just train them to not be mean.
Good luck with your flock!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Most breeds can be mixed together provided you have more than enough space for them in the coop, the run and the pen if that is your setup. The one thing that will often cause aggression issues are multiple males of the same size.

Thank you so it has to do with the males. I love just watching them play and being able to love them. I just didn't want to disrupt their peace if I were to add more chickens to their flock. That is the very front of the pen that face the road. We figured less area in the front means less possible attacks or unauthorized free range. The back is wood and taller so they can stretch and hop over each other.

Welcome to BYC. Any time birds are added to an established flock there will be some fighting and pecking order adjustment. Generally things even out eventually. Crested birds and bantams may have problems integrating into an established flock.
