Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

[skwump]

We currently have 3 hybrids and, in a few weeks time, will adopt 3 6-week-old pure breeds (to go in our new WIR!). I plan to divide the walk in run to give the new girls lots of time to grow up, and for all 6 girls to get to know each other slowly. The question is....

I find myself very tempted by a couple of pekins and wondered whether I could get 2 at the same time as the new girls? If I keep them with the new girls, they will have loads of time to get used to the other girls and vise versa.

 

What do people think?

Hi I keep big girls, pekins and a little sablepoot bantam. They all live together but I only integrated them after a full year of free ranging by day but separate quarters by night. The decided themselves when to move in together My pekin (we had 2) is a feisty little madam & will stand up to anything but my sablepoot is much more submissive. They all get along fine, but my araucana is a bit pecky but not enough to be problematic

I was wondering the same thing - we have a bullying issue with a 'disabled' hen - one legged due to fox attack a few years ago - and the 2 bullies are in the WIR 24/7 as where 'hoppy chicken' wanders around the garden; I was thinking of getting a bantam friend with feathery feet to wander around the garden with her during the day (hoping that it wouldn't scratch up the grass to badly) but not sure about when we fully integrate hoppy chicken back into the WIR and therefore end up with either both being bullied or the little one trying to put up with our Omlet girls?!

 

Would be lovely to get a little friend for 'hoppy' and I would hope because the bantam should have 2 legs that it can get away a lot easier than hoppy should she be pecked/feather pulled?

 

Any advice?
