I have nine golden comets that are a little over a year old. We are trying to integrate six 12 week old black australorp pullets and one Mille Fleur D’Uccle pullet. They have been in a parallel run for a couple of weeks now. While my older girls are no longer screaming at the top of their lungs about their new flock mates, they are still acting rather aggressive at times. We took one of the older girls, who
Is generally sweet and bottom of the pecking order and brought her in with the younger ones. That lasted about 10 seconds as she started chasing them. Mind you the younger ones are basically the same size, with the exception of my Mille Fleur, but they act like they freaked out and hid even though it was only one chicken. I know when we finally fully integrate them we will do so at night as everyone suggests, but does anyone have any further advice on how to make this better? I’m really worried about my Mille Fleur since she is so tiny as well.
