We’re always a bit anxious with the introduction process, and very relieved when it’s finally done.

Now if only my husband shared my sentiments…hopefully I’ll break him down at some point.

My former neighbors had chickens and I used to chicken sit when they were out of town. Magic! When we moved to a new state one of my goals was to have chickens of my own but our property isn’t suited for it. Have fun and enjoy those fresh eggs!

Definitely the smaller the space, the more trouble you will have introducing them. With free rangers, there generally isn’t a problem. It normally only takes a day or two for them to settle into their new pecking order, unless you have a real bully. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the advice, Emelia! I think we are almost at that point now. The older girls free range for part of the day and they have been getting to know each other through the fence. I want to try getting them together in a larger fenced in area to see what happens. I am glad to know this went smoothly for you. I am a bit nervous about it.
