Integrating New Chickens

[CarieLovesChickens]

Takes more than a week.
Not sure I would restart the 'see no touch' scenario.

But really.... show us your coop and run, with dimensions,
and I'm sure we'll come up with some solutions to try.

I resumed the see no touch practice this morning. I’m working now and will try to get a pic up later but the run is 20’x4’ with a swing, toy, feeder, waterer and scratch block. Coop has separate feeder & water. They do roost together in the coop at night without issue and I just make sure to be out there at sun up to separate.

Might need more "junk" in the run, things tall/large enough to effectively break line of sight, especially since the run is quite narrow which makes it difficult for birds to safely pass by one another without a low ranked bird getting into a dominant bird's personal space (which would then trigger a fight or chase).
