Thank you! I just kept reading about peopleās Salmon Faverolles needing to be separated and I thought to myself ānow, why in the world did it not cross your mind that different breeds might not live well together?āChances are everything will be fine. Just follow the integration advice on here and take it slow. Chickens hate change and newcomers are just outsiders stealing their resources. You have to give them time to accept them being around, while still being protected (dog crate). Then free range them together (if you do that) or just stick them on the roost after dark so that they all wake up together and for whatever reason don't think it's weird. There are multiple approaches, but the dog crate is the first step that paves the way to making the rest work. If you just dump them in there then they're intruders. If they've been there for 2 weeks, but locked in a box they're used to them and not alarmed. There will still be pecking order scuffles, but it won't be nearly as bad as "intruders".
Iāll be honest, my first and only thought was if the breed was good with children or not. Lesson learned. Iāll do my best to integrate slowly and let you guys know how it goes!!
Oh, and hereās my lovely girls
