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
There is no guarantee, but my lone Polish gets along fine with my mixed flock: 7 Buff Orpington 4 RIR 5 NHR 7 Barred Rock 6 Black Sex Link 1 Bantam (White) 1 Bantam Rooster (lavender) My Polish is small too, she is between the size of the Bantam and a BR.
