combining flocks

[nellynelly]

i want to combine two flocks, which i have had great luck with in the past. the issue this time, both flocks have chicks (with mothers). will everybody get along? only 1 rooster.

thanks

If you have space just do as you did before. The mothers will adapt. The rooster may be the problem as the broody's chicks he isn't with, he will may see, as not his own. Be ready to pull him out and hold him separate for while and reintroduce at a latter time.

i am not worried about the rooster, he is really docile with the ladies. but i will keep my eyes on the situation the first day
