Flock divisions and flock management changes

[nao57]

So I wondered if there is any articles or information somewhere on the study of how to split, divide, merge, or start new flocks? (And with ducklings or chicks?)

This seems like an interesting poultry division of learning that could use attention.

Beekeepers do this.

And aren't poultry smarter than bees? (Well except for turkeys...)

And if so, wouldn't this mean that in theory people could be studying how to split off, and divide flocks, or merge them?

Curious what you think about this? And if there's some existing source material somewhere on it.

There are tons of threads about the different situations that folks might have.
Would be pretty hard to put it all in one article.

Better to spell out each situation like you did here(tho the thread title doesn't describe the advice you are seeking very well) https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/to-be-or-not-to-be-the-chicken-problem.1415934/
