Hey chicken elders! Sorry I tried to make this post quick but it's still kind of drawn out.
I'm raising some chickens here and want to introduce them to the rest of the coop, but I am worried about bullying.
(I have a summary at the bottom of you don't want to read everything)
I'd like to start off with, the Roo is kinda friendly but cautious. Same with the 2 Jersey Giants. They are however fine with my Easter eggers. The Wyandottes on the other hand are friendly and approachable, but they don't like my Easter eggers.
I have 3 Easter Eggers I picked up while at the Tractor Supply who are familiar with the other birds and are docile. They're 4 weeks old, but for now are still living in a dog cage inside my house.
I also have 4 Faverolles that are 2 weeks old and haven't met any of the other birds. I was wondering if I could put them in with the Easter Eggers to get aquatinted before transitioning them to the large coop. I was thinking that way it'll maybe offset the power dynamic...
The Rooster and Jersey Giants are fine with the Easter eggers, so it just comes down to the Wyandottes. Will 8 Wyandottes try to wage war on 7 new birds? Can I put my Faverolles in with my Easter eggers when they're 2 weeks apart in age?
Summary: I want to introduce my 3 Easter Eggers and 4 Faverolles to 8 Wyandottes. How should I start introducing them?
Any advice is much appreciated!
