[critterrun]

Hi
I am new to this

I have 3 breeds, can I put them all in the same shed for the winter?
I was going to but a metal shed and fix it so there would be 3 Runs,
but Mother nature beat me to it
and I have to do something now !

Thanks
also has anybody used a metal shed?

Thanks

Having multiple breeds together is commonplace. Most of us have many breeds together.

The issue is age and pecking order. Chicken's order their society along very strict lines of relating to one another. They'll order themselves. During that process, there is bullying and pecking, but they get it sorted out, eventually.

I have 5 breeds right now. I hope I understand your questions.

yes thank you
I have Silkies Buff and 3 odd ones
They have been in 3 differnt runs all summer
I am going to get a Shed and put together 1 big run
for them all to go into
that way I can keep the water warm
and make it easy when it is COLD

yes, you can house them all together...this is my mixed flock...but now you will have to integrate them in...
this takes time and patience...
