We're looking to get 1-3 Polish hens and I was wondering can they get along with up to around 8 (maybe more, likely max though at 15) other non-polish hens or will the Polish get picked on definitely? Either way I am prepared to house one separately if I have to.
Here are the other breeds of the hens that may or may not be in the same flock if I keep the Polish in with them:
Cuckoo Maran
Buff Orpington
Ameraucana mutts (EEs)
RIR
Delaware
Barred Rock
Silver Laced Wyandotte
Gold Laced Wyandotte
I'm just wondering if it will be a guarantee that the Polish will get picked on and house it separately or if I should try it and see if they all get a long with no one getting seriously picked on.
Thanks in advance,
-Anna
