We have to little flocks of chickens; one in the backyard (4 hens and 1 roo) and a flock on property in the country about 3 miles away. Rehoming plans fell through, and, we've decided to keep the one roo that is at the bay now and take the one from the house to the bay until we can rehome him. Whew...
Our idea is to do the switch at night and just put each on the roost with the hens, and, be there in the morning to make sure there's no/little trouble. Even though these chickens were all raised together, should we separate each roo in cage or a little pen BEFORE we put them on the roost? What would y'all do?
