Hi All
I hope you all can help. I am a real newbie to hen keeping. I have a large back garden that I keep three hens. Well I thought ey were three hens but turns out two were cockrels! So I have rehomed one and the other goes this weekend. I then went back to the person I got them off and she gave me an older laying hen and a 10 week old chick. Well the remaining cockerel and hen have bullied the other two badly. I was able to separate them but the new ones won't roost in the coop tonight and I can't catch one to put it in the coop. She is roost I in the garden which isn't really safe. Any ideas to help them get along and get the new ones into the coop at night?
Thanks in anticipation.
