New breeds!

[ChickenWhisperer101]

Hey everyone,
I currently have 12 chickens, legbars, marans, golden comets, etc., but I’m getting some 5-6 week old chicks in 3ish weeks and they are all new breeds that I don’t have any experience with, so I was wondering if y’all could help me with the breeds temperament, egg laying, when they can go outside, etc. Basically any info on these breeds.
The breeds I’m getting are 2 black langshans, 1 white leghorn, and one tetra tint (which I’ve never even heard of before.) Thanks in advance.

P.S. They’re all pullets, I hope

How should I introduce my 5-6 week old chicks to my chicks that will be 12 weeks at that time ? I’m scared to introduce them because I just had a pecking issue with some of my other chicks and big chickens. Just trying to plan ahead.

Think I’m gonna do that but I’m open to suggestions

I kept my younger chicks next to the older girls, but with a divider. I did this for a few weeks, and there was just the slightest pecking order squabbling... the closer they are in size, the better.

I’m pretty sure I’ll be introducing them next weekend or week after. I probably use the divider method

I kept three new pullets of the same approximate age behind a see-through divider for five days. Then the next night in the dark I put them in the roost with the six original pullets. A little squabbling but no big problems.

Tell me what the pros & cons of Bielefelders are. They are on my “possibilities” list for next year & I can’t make up my mind!

They are big friendly chickens who are smart, curious, free range well, and lay large eggs. Because of their size, they eat a lot.
