My newest batch

[Love My Chickies]

These are my four newest babies, about 11 weeks old. Of course one turned out to be a cockrel (that's Eggnog). The others are Lemon Drop, Licorice, and Ducky. We've been trying to integrate them with the older 4 without much success. (We have 3 cockrels and one pullet in the first group, for now.

)

Pretty birds! Integration can take some time for sure...have you tried the "look, don't touch" way of where the birds can all see each other but not physically interact? Be patient, it can take weeks for them to all get used to each other.

Yes, we started in a dog crate while they were smaller. Then, in separate but attached runs. Then, we brought the big guys in one at a time. One roo in particular just won't leave them alone. He's my favorite of course, and the lowest in the pecking order of the big guys. (He's the one in my profile picture).
