The kindest, gentlest, way to integrate new birds to older ones is the "Look but don't touch method." of integration. You can probably find it via the search box. Done right, there is no bloodshed

I'll have to try that. Those older hens/rooster are such bullies! Always picking on the tiny ones. Especially the Jersey Giant. He just stomps all over everyone during feeding time.

Thanks! And yeah I kinda feel like the crazy silkie lady. The neighbors always stare when I'm outside hanging laundry on the line and all the little silkies are chasing me. They follow me everywhere. If I didn't have a cat, they'd probably run inside the house too.
