I’m SOOOOOOOOO happy! If you’ve read my recent posts, you may know I have 8 new babies for my flock. Today was first meeting altogether in the run with no barriers. went very well I’m released to say. I’ve been worried for a little while about a particularly aggressive hen, and so far apart from a few minor scuffles, they’ve gotten along great!! Just wanted to share. If anyone has extra advice on safe flock meeting tips, I’d love to hear em.


Here you can see the babies with the girls. huddled into a little ball

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Have you considered installing a predator apron around the base of your setup?
Do you let them out of that area regularly?
What are the white marks on your boys head?

How exciting! I'm so glad that they've transitioned smoothly into the flock! It can be worrisome when you have an aggressive hen, but it sounds like it all turned out smoothly. Congratulations!
