different breeds coexisting?????

[pgpoultry]

Yep,
I have big and small, dark and light, chicks and old birds, and they all seem to know that they are chickens, but that is about all!

I have at least 12 different breeds living together

I plan on crossing them all, making wonderful little mutts!

i noticed if they are all about the same size they do great.

They should all be fine, just raise the Sumatra carefully or they'll be wild! Here is mine!
First, she is this

and then this!


They grow up so fast! sniff sniff

I have a 3lb. roo living with a 9 1/2lb. roo.
and 2lb. hens with 6lb. hens.
Size doesn't matter either.

I have 15 chicks that are about 2 days old. I am not sure their breed but almost every one is different and they seem to get along fine so far.

I guess mine get together cause I raised most of them together, except for the banty roo, but he holds his own.

How nice of you to join us --

. There is a ton of great chicken information here and lots of nice friendly folks too.

I don't know anything about chantecler or the sumatra, but all the others you mentioned are of similar temperament and behavior. I selected all of mine for color and calmness. So far it seems to be working. I have a Barred Rock, Light Brahma, two EE's and two cochin (one of whom turned out to be a rooster -- know anyone in need of a sweet cochin rooster?

Enjoy your chicks -- and handling them will help calm down the more flighty ones.

I have Barred Rocks, Ameraucanas, and Cuckoo Marans....I handled them a lot and they are all pretty tame and get along great with each other.
