hi guys!!
Ok, long story short-ish. I integrated my young ladies with my older ladies over the course of a couple weeks I think. You know, the whole, "keep them separated by fencing, but let them see each other". Finally when the little ladies were big enough we let them all free range together. Of course there was some chasing and a peck here and there.
Well, now they've been completely together almost 5 weeks and they're still being chased (especially around food) and pecked. No wounds ever though.
Does integrating usually take this long?
The big girls are 9 months old and the little ladies are about 4-5 months.
