I have 3 groups of birds. 4.5 months, 3 months and 2 months
Group 1 is 1 Cream Legbar Roo and 3 pullets (2 legbar, 1 Barnevelder)
Group 2 is 1 Delaware Roo and 2 pullets (Delaware)
Group 3 is 2 roos (Barnevelder and Cream Legbar) , 2 pullets (1 Legbar, 1 Barnevelder) I am trying to rehome the legbar rooling)
Our landlady sold our house and we have to move so instead of having the birds in 3 coops (1 per breed) I am going to have to stuff them all together short term in one smallish coop. I have no choice. It is either that or give them away at a huge financial loss
Right now I have them in indoor pens next to each other. They can see and touch each other through the bars. There has been a lot of pecking from one Barne pullet especially at the Delaware Rooster and the 2 month olds
In theory I could keep them in the 3 smaller pens on the porch and rotate them through the outdoor coop for some exercise and change of scenery without mixing the groups yet
Any ideas on how to make this horrible situation work?
