I have read through so many of the comments and wondered what is wrong with my chickens? The only segregation that happens in our coop is the hens and ducks. We too have 7 different breeds of hens and they are all laying with one another and do everything mostly as a herd rather than separate. There is only one group that goes a different direction, the babies that we adopted about 8 weeks after our original 29. They however are starting to do everything with the group and are even laying in separate areas mingled with the other hens. Thanks for posting this question, I will have to keep an eye out for this in the future but currently 23 of the 29 that I have from the original (6 were hand raised for a friend and then we adopted another 6) are very mingled in their groups....
