My meat chickens and egg layers are about the same age give or take a day or two. Of course they are totally different in size. I want to put my egg layers up in the same coop as the meat chickens. Is this a bad idea? There should be room but I am concerned that the meat birds being heavier will beat up the egg layers. Anyone co habitate the two kinds? Since my meat chickens had the coop first and the egg layers were not in the coop with the meaties weeks ago is there a territorial thing expected.
