Did you just put them together, or were they next to each other for a few days first?
They have been living next to each other for a few weeks The blue salmon boy is very very very protective so I should have assumed it all went down in 30 seconds luckly I was there to seprate them. The new boy is fine I was planning on spliting the flocks anyway because people wanted salmon eggs. The blue salmon boy is a ruff faverolles I am selling him in the next few weeks after I get my new boy from Leisha and have him through Quarentine. The blue salmon boy treads the hens hard for a faverolles and even went after the new salmon pullet when I put her in so he is going to be rehomed with two of the pullets I don't plan on using much.

I'll never understand the boys that go after new girls. One of my Sussex boys did that. Three younger pullets were next to but separated from the main flock for 2 weeks. Tried to integrate them and not only did the older girls harrass them, the dominant roo did too. So I separated them again but put the subordinate roo in with the young girls. He at least knows how to treat a lady!

The younger boy seems polite so far it really made me mad and he got a good smack and now he has to live in the chicken tractor instead of the nice big coop. I am going to do some sets of eggs from just the pure salmons and then all the girls will go in with the new boy and the old boy will be gone.

Ah, but you intend to sell me all of the eggs you get, right? My hatch last month was a bust, with one bird half-hatched with NO FEATHERS OR FLUFF on the lower half of the body! I was relieved to find it had passed (still not fully hatched) when I looked an hour later, as I can't imagine not culling a bird like that.
It was a bad hatch, but the eggs had arrived with giant air cells, so I was hesitant from the get-go.
I NEED FAV EGGS!!!
