How to seperate young brooder pair?

@MamaSug can you post a link here if you start a new thread ?

(Maybe its easier for your Baby G if you can buy her a ‘sister’ about the same age, to cope with the RIR’s.)

You might post in our Managing your Flock forums for more help with this... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/managing-your-flock.2/ Good luck!

Thank you, TwoCrows. I will look into doing that and apologize for posting in wrong forum. This website is still very fresh to me!

No need to apologize! There is always someone to direct us to the proper forum to get the answers.

Yes, will do and I think if I could manage to find one around the same age as her that would more than likely work out perfectly but I don't think anyone around my area would want to sell or trade theirs :/ all I usually see in the listings here are different breeds, ages and colors that won't work for breeding

Sorry, this is all my fault asking questions, instead of just saying hello and welcome.

Btw: If you can buy a compagnion chicken that wil lay eggs in another color. You can easily keep her out of you’re breeding plans.
And I do like it when people take out the aggressive roosters from their breeding program.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens this is great place.. You have hardware cloth that could do it or a dog crate

Welcome to BackyardChickens! Penny1960 gave great advice.

You can just butcher him, and she'll be OK in a few days. Chickens get used to things pretty fast.

The pullet might have to live in a pen next to the others for a bit to get to know them, or you might be able to just put her in with them: depends on how they all respond when you try it.

Thank you for advice, NatJ and everyone! I really appreciate all your help and I will definitely get to work on building/expanding my outdoor coop area so that Baby G can have her own little private

I wish I could just sneak her in with the others but at this point I don't think I could get away with it cause she's still too young and not used to being outdoors yet

Mama Sug sorry I posted in the wrong thread. Was able to delete the post but, I don't think I am able to delete the part you included in your post. If you would be able to delete it I would be very grateful.

This is not always true. Last year I had just 1 pullet and 4 cockerels from natural breeding. Two boys stayed until she was 3 months old. But when they left , the pullet was bullied every evening around roosting time. She was roosting before the boys left but started to sleep in the laying boxes after that. It took her half a year to get accepted and confident enough to roost again. She still is frightened chicken (flees easily).
And I have 1 other chicken who was seperated from her brother at about the same ages years ago. She is frightened /flees easily too.
The ones who grew up in pairs are more confident.
