Mingling?

[HomesteadmamaKY]

I have 4, 12 week girls that have been introduced over the last week to 5 new girls. 2 are 5 weeks. 3 are 7 weeks. The “big” girls and “little” girls free range all day and keep their distance. Some pecking here and there usually near the run/coop. Nothing major. Will they ever all forage together? Or it will always be two groups?

They'll likely remain in their own subflocks until they're near point of lay.

Until the youngest ones are laying.
