New Chicken Coop

[bharter]

I built a new chicken coop. I need to merge two different flocks of birds to use this coop. I do not have the room to keep them separate. How do I do this?

Hello! Welcome to BYC!!

Is there any way to put a temporary barrier in the coop? Have they free ranged together or are they brand new to each other?

They are brand new to each other. Only one of the flocks have a rooster. Not sure if it’s possible to put up a temporary barrier.

How old are the chickens in each group? How many? How big is the new coop in feet or meters? Is it attached to a secure run or do they free range? How big, in feet or meters, is the run? Photos, inside and out, can be very helpful. Are the females laying eggs?

If you don't have room to keep them separated this might get challenging or it might still be fairly easy. The more you can tell us about your specific situation the more likely we can come up with ideas that will help you.

Right now one flock is free ranging and the others are in a small pen. The coop will be finished this week and will have a run that is 8’ x16’. Both flocks are laying eggs.
