Mixed size flock

If you can tell us more about your facilities and room we can probably come up with some suggestions to make integration easier. My main suggestion is to size your facilities for what you will have and then make it even bigger. Integration take more room than after they are integrated. Lack of room causes issues.

Currently we have a 4x4 coop and will have a 70+ sq ft covered run attached. Plus an opportunity to freerange at times. So we are maxed out with the current flock of 5. If I get more we will build a larger shed style coop to accomodate at least a dozen birds and resize the run as well. We currently rent our home so we are maxed out for now but when we move to our own property id like to expand the flock.
 
"Free range at times" doesn't really count as far as space requirements go. I'm sure they enjoy it but to count space needs to be available when they need it.

Yeah, you are pretty maxed out now, I would not try to add any. Good luck on that move.
