Hi,
New to group, and not that knowledgeable about chickens. We have probably done things in the wrong order/way, so looking for some help. About a year ago we started our chicken adventure. We got 3 adult hens with a rooster, then also some smaller 8 week old. All good for a year until the littles grew up .Had 6 hens, with 2 roosters (older one being dominant). Thankfully younger one is swift! Decided to get 6 more hens (12 weeks) with the hope that this would become the year old roosters flock. The 6 new hens are isolated right now...so the question is...how to introduce rooster to hens and hopefully bond...so we can eventually have everyone at once in the yard without bickering...older rooster with 6 older hens and younger rooster with new hens. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
