Hello!
I am trying to integrate 2 females and a male with 6 females and a male. The two roosters don’t really get along and try to keep their hens safe. We want to keep both, any feedback and help?
Thanks!
 
In my experience hens just need a little bit of time and space and they should be fine in a week. If you have a chance you can put them in the same space and separate them with a wire mesh so they can get to know each other. Leave them like this for two days and put them all together afterwards.This will spare some violence between them but remember that there will always establish the pecking order in the flock.
Abot roosters: I tried to put 2 roosters together 2 times and it never worked. They were very agressive and would kill each other if I let them. There was a lot of blood in the first minute of the "introduction".
I don't know if there is a way to do it but I didn't manage.
Good luck :)
