Like I said, 3 days and now they are all together. They have been together for a week now and integrated for almost a week now. No major problems, no injuries and everyone sleeps on the same perches. They all range together. It was actually easier that I thought.

I wish i had helpful advice on integration, but i don't (yet). Other than that, don't bother with the apple cider vinegar, birds can't smell anything.

Good luck!

Read these links. They have proved that chickens do have a keen sense of smell. One is from Oxford University.
