Do they free range? if so then you could do it then, no matter when you intergrate them theres going to be some picking because it has upset the order. Most say at night.

Thanks! I had read most of the integration postings, guess it's just a wing and a prayer now!!! Lol... I'll wait though till later after they really settle.

I have 6 pullets (2 Bo, 1 rid hen, 1 rid roo, and 2 red sex link), a Cochin mix, 2 Japanese bantams (1 roo, 1 hen), a blue Cochin bantam, and a blue laced Cochin bantam.
I bet the mountains are much nicer right now than here! We hit 111 with humidity indices! The poor Cochin bantams have been panting for a week now!

I am right there with you! I used to be a city girl at heart and now, here I am planning ice chunks and frozen treats to help my poor pitiful hens beat this heat! So far only my dad and husband are supportive... So far my possible loss of sanity due to poultry contagion is the only thing my mother and mother in law have EVER agreed on!

Well they are in... I am out here now, they are al closely huddled in the corner of the coop looking at the others as if they were aliens. Atlases no one seems to be getting pecked out! We shall see... Good day to all!

I grew up in the Detriot area moved to NC about 7 yrs ago & started my chicken adventure about a month ago. My Mom has helped occassionally, but it's mostly my son & I being the chicken parents : )
