I've found see but don't touch to be a great way of getting new birds together. Please do check out this link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/introducing-new-chickens-using-the-see-but-don-t-touch-method

Good luck.

Nice birds

I'm afraid some pecking order scuffles still take place until they have decided where everyone fits :/ As long as it's not too bad things should settle down.

 

[Mrs coulborn]

Cheers for your help won't like to see them injured love them too much.x

Your most welcome

In general it's a bit of pecking that really does not warrant some of the screams that come from them!
