Moving 2 separate flocks into one NEW coop. Which goes in first?

[ashleyrae211]

HELP!!

One flock is 1.5-2 years old 5 hens. The other is 6 months old 1 big rooster and 3 hens. I have been moving a lot(still young and not settled yet) and I need the 5 oldest hens with me they are too far away for me to tend, and the 6 month olds starter coop is too small. so I want to get them all together in a bigger coop.

Should I get the young rooster and girls comfy before I bring the older ones. Or should I get the older ones comfy first?

they get along better if they both arrive at the new location at the same time. they can establish their own " pecking order " without grandfather rules kicking in
