With the nighttime method, did they fight in the morning?I added my pullets to my older flock at night, and it worked out all right. The only problem was, the younger ones then thought the roost was their safe space, and wouldn't come down. They are all mixing now, finally, after a few weeks. I have also added pullets into another flock by just throwing them in there during the day. There was a lot of fighting at first, but they integrated themselves much faster. Mine never had a separate roost, they've always had to sleep on the same roost as the older ones, and that's worked out fine.
