I introduced two new chickens to my group of 9. The new are Favorolles. They are 5.5 months. It has been 10 days. I have taken gradual steps to mix them in, including separate pen in the big coop (14x14 feet). I'veput them in after dark to the hen house roost and now they go in with everyone else and find their low corners and are left alone at night.
In the daytime they stay up on perches. One of them will occasionally go into a corner and be trapped and get pecked on the back of the neck repeatedly. No sores yet or featherless areas. Loose in the yard they don't mix but do explore and seem to have some fun. I don't know if I should give them away or give it more time. Suggestions please.
