I have a 1 year old RIR Roo and i have his SON/DAUGHTER? Yuma and my friend recently gave me 2 Mille Fleur D'Uncles / White Leghorns that could be Girls or Roos i was wondering if you think i could ntroduce these if they were roos without problem ( i am also introducing 4 for sure hens from TSC 2 naked necks and 2 white leghorns) to my existing flock of 1 year old 1 Sumatra 1 New Hampshire Red 1 Jersey Giant and 2 Wyandottes

Any thing will help

Thanks yall
 
Are they at least close to the same size as the existing flock? If not close to the same size, the older chickens will most likely be very aggressive to the younger ones. There are a lot of threads about introducing new chickens to your flock on this forum. There are a lot of ideas on how to go about it. Personally, from what I have read, it seems to go a lot better and faster if they free range during the day.
Most people suggest keeping them close to each other so they can see, but not peck each other for a couple weeks or so. Whatever method you choose, it can be a long, slow process.
Read some of the threads on the forum for ideas.
