I want to grow out to maturity some seramas and polish laced hens and introduce them to my existing flock. Existing = Rhode Island Red, Deathlayer, Buff Orp, Ameraucana, polish hens.
Can someone advise on the seramas being with the larger, older hens? If I integrate appropriately and correctly, will there still be problems? The flock accepted the other polish hens I had with zero issues (no biting of their head feathers or anything). But what about seramas?
I'm now debating whether I should sell the seramas or if I can actually integrate them successfully. I want all the hens to be happy.
Thoughts anyone?
 
I have a mixed bantam flock with one serama and one large fowl hen. The large hen is very bossy by nature and can be very aggressive, but I free range my chickens during the daylight hours and the serama and other small bantams manage to stay out if her way. Seramas are tiny but tend to be feisty natured and are good little flyers so they can escape bullying well IF they have enough space.

I would say it could work for you but it depends on their. living space and also the individual personalities of the birds. Try integrating but be prepared to rehome some if it doesn't work out.

We definitely have the space but good ole' Red is a bossy lady. Cinnamon (our buff orp) is a little sassy as well, but if the seramas are as fiesty as you say, I dont see a problem. Those two older ladies keep to themselves mostly. Thanks for the advice!
