Well, I have four brooder/houses/cages for different sets of my chickens. I have a large house for the D'uccles (four of them) another cage for a pair of bantam cochins, another for my naughty male Serama, another for the three silkies I have. None of them are laying yet but all are getting close except for the silkies...they are only 7 weeks. Anyway, I let every single one of them out for the first time today to see what happens. Well the silkies and the D'uccles got along GREAT for a first time meeting. Not one peck between any of them. The D'uccle roo and the bantam cochin roo had a little spat but not bad. And the large backyard flock came up to check everyone out and all went well. No one was overly mean
that makes me SO happy because eventually we will have two coops...a large fowl and a bantam coop. We are in process of the bantam coop now. Everyone LOVED to be free and eat grass and bugs
Even my boxer and pom behaved themselves and were out free with all the chickens! YEAH everything is perfect
