Do different breeds of chickens get along with eachother?

[ChickenClo]

Hi everyone!

I'm getting chickens circa 3-5 months, and i'm doing my research. I wanted to know if different breeds of chickens got along with each other. I haven't decided on what type of hens, but i'm getting 5-10, and a Lacy Roundhead Cock Roo. Thank you! I'm mostly getting them for eggs and DEFINITLY NOT MEAT! I just can't do that...

All your chickens will do just fine, however the Cock, as you may know, should not be with any other males. . . American Gamefowl like him are fighters.

only if you send themto special classes about race awarness....


no wait....that is what we had to do at my old job....


yeah...chickens don't know what breed they are....soem don't even know they are chickens...

Many happy mixed breed flocks here. I don't think they know they're different breeds

They aren't even aware they are meat!

none of my girls are the same breed and they all LUUUURVE eachother just the same

Games are pretty fisty and aren't great for beginners, IMO. Breed, however, does not affect how they get along. Though in my experience and of a few others, EE's tend to be at the bottom of the pecking order, just FYI.

Breed doesn't matter, but pecking order does. It is best to have birds that were raised together as chicks. If you get birds from different sources, or of different ages... take your time introducing them to one another.

If you raise them all together you won't have a problem. Chickens are color blind.
