How is your flock today?

[416bigbore]

Only 5. I have been trying to introduce more into the flock, but they ended up passing.

Oh no, how have you been trying to introduce them into your main flock?

 

[416bigbore]

I need to run, BRB.

Always made sure they were in a cage which didn't allow them to attack each other, but still observe.

How old were the ones in the cage, and how long did you keep them in the cage?

How about age and size of them? That is a huge factor also,

2 were about 3 weeks old when we got them, another 1 was either a pullet or hen, and the last we tried was an adult roo.

We had them in there until they were used to each other, which was about 3 weeks. They were medium-sized, so they were about the same size as the flock.

Variety, A Brahma, two ISAs, one RIR, and an EE.

@godzillaandfriends 3 week's old is still sort of young to be turned loose without a mother hen to protect it from the main flock.
