HOORAY! HOORAH! They all went in the big hen house tonight and are all comfy on the roost together!!!! I didn't have to do a thing! YAY! Finally, they are all successfully integrated without incident!!!

I love it when that moment happens. I feel so proud, and as if they are so clever. (Up until then, I am muttering under my breath at how freakin' STUPID can my chickens be????)

It was soooooo much work!!!! Keeping the chicks in the garage then I made them a small house with run next to the big hen house and run. Then they started free ranging together. Then I had them share the run and then finally they're totally living and sleeping together! 5 months of juggling around two flocks separately and slowly changing things to get them used to each other. PHEW!!! I'm so glad it's OVER!!!

Congrats! I love it when integration goes successfully. I've had 2 successful integrations this summer that were relatively painless for all involved. Love it! Love it! Things are so much better when there is no manufactured stress.
