Currant Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi - getting my cube at the end of October with 2 gingernut rangers. Currently have 3 in an eglu. I would like 2 more from a different breeder and was wondering if it's ok to introduce all the new ones to the cube on the same day or would they still pick on each other? Thanks!

craftyhunnypie Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's better to do it all the same day. That way they are all on the same new level as each other & all have to earn their rank in the pecking order. We had chooks from 3 different places on the same day & chook world was perfect!

Egluntyne Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'd do it all on the same day too. Some advice **here** . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 We did this in July last year, 2 from one place, 3 from another, and we were amazed at how well they got on. You need to do it within a few hours and you may still get a particular character mix that doesn't work, but this can happen if they all come from the same place, but a much bigger group.

Currant Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Oh goodie - I was hoping it would be ok. Why do I need a chicken in every colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Oh goodie - I was hoping it would be ok. Why do I need a chicken in every colour For the same reason that I wanted eggs of every colour maybe Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
