New to BYC

Hello... We just moved in May to 5 acres of property outside of Jacksonville, Fl and just had to add chickens. Currently we have 3 Cornish Rocks (1rooster & 2 hens). 9 chickens in 1 flock that have 2 roosters and 8 in another younger flock with 1 rooster so far. I want to join them together because of shelter and laying boxes. That way they all have the same access. Is this possible???

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Generally, having that many sub-flocks means you will need different shelters or divisions within the same shelter for each sub-flock. If you have a very large run or pen (like 1/2 acre or more with lots of trees and shrubs in it) they can all coexist without too many fights between the boys over territory.

We can definitely make a new larger coop/run if need be... thanks.
