I have that same cheapy gun case

$20bux if i recall lol but keeps my gun from banging around in the truck.

 

[JShubin]

yep. $5 at garage sale for me. I had a crazy neon orange fabric one prior... it was an eye sore and too long for my rifle.

Mine all establish pecking order like normal or sometimes circular (A tops B, B tops C, but C tops A) so that no one is top except rooster.

Introductions are the hardest, but once they are together they can get along no problem. Too small of space is the worst. I do 3 hens and a cock in my 7'x10' aviary. Any more they get to anxious and pecking at eachother and eating eggs.

You have a rooster in there though. No kidding the rooster will prevent it. I say go get two different hens and put them together and see what happens, no rooster.

I agree to an extent that you can free range pullets hens as long as they've never been penned. Take me out of a pen and turn them loose you're gonna have problems.
Not all though. I have a few very aggressive hens. I just showed that pen fighting ruble the other day. It's not a pecking order when there's a rooster in charge.

ya they go nuts. been there.

Well then that was a half *ssed response you gave earlier.

I have a tiny little pumpkin hen that will walk straight up to a rooster on a cord and go after him. Your pecking order nonsense is just that.

 

[roosterhavoc]

Two hens add a rooster and they both attack him. He whoops both of em. Don't work. Try a different cock all is well. Many different scenarios but none involve any actual "pecking order" it's more like I tolerate other guys all day long but if I come home to find one sitting on my couch I'm gonna smash his face in.

Never seen any of my hens attack a cock. My stags get feisty at certain age and try to fight hens. As soon as hen get beat by stag she treats him like cock.
