Eggquisite Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi guys (figuratively speaking!), We're due to collect our 4 girls soon.. (yipeeee) As we will be collecting from two separate farms - two separate breeds all should all be around 8-9 weeks old, should we collect in two separate boxes & introduce them once we back home? Picking up from 2x Devon farms, home in Oxfordshire - really don't want any squabbles in the car Any suggestions would be really welcomed.

feemcg Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 It doesn't really matter, you could do it either way, the only thing is you might want to check both sets over for lice etc, before introducing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annettec Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 We collected two Hybrid POL chickens from a breeder and then went to another breeder to collect a Silkie, we put them in the box all together and then straight into the Eglu. We had no problems and all three girls have settled in nicely. Good luck and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think you'd be fine to put them all into the cube at the same time, then they are all new to the house, and there won't be any overly dominant ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
