I am so happy! I was expecting a few bad days but we had noisy hour first thing & now everyone seems quite happy to be together. It is even quiet. My layers give the occasional cluckadoo but otherwise... :)

My neighbour says the secret is waking up together. He thinks the sooner, the better. I'm more inclined to quarantine first.

:hmm I think the sooner they are in together the better. Quarantine complicates that. The night thing seems to solve some of the issues but in reality I think the biggest factor is breed. I had many more dominant breed birds last time & they were plain mean. This time the majority of the breeds are placid/timid ~ or small~ & I am having far fewer issues.
