Good Evening,
Hello I'm Michelle I'm new to owning Chickens, I now currently have 26 Chickens of all breeds and ages. I just currently incubated 9 eggs 2 are successfully hatched and are now 2 days old. I Love our Chickens it's hard introducing my 4 as I call them teenagers to my older hens, I did have 2 Roosters but rehomed them hopefully to a good home. but our 7 girls aren't mean not that I've seen anyways but the 4 teens keep running from them. I have Our 7 older girls they are actually only 7 months old, the (4) teens are 3 months old they have not had a good introduction because our Roosters got a hold of one of them and tried well you know what Roosters do and scared the daylights out of my poor babies. I broke it up very quickly and My little Orpington came running to me and jumped into my lap I felt dreadful. I have photo's of all of my babies I got my first 10 chickens from TSC 3 out of the ten were Roosters even though the Rhode Island Reds were labeled as Females they were both Males and then I had another Male Ameraucana Rooster which he lives free range on 30 acres with his own flock.

Hello, Michelle, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
It is quite normal for the younger group of chickens to run from the older group. They will become a more cohesive flock as they all come into lay.

Welcome Nice to have you here! Make sure you have extra water and feed station so the newbies get a chance to eat and drink until they all settle in
