    For the purposes of informing anyone who is watching/has watched this video, and of course, the keepers of these hens, this is absolutely NOT the correct way of introducing new hens to an existing flock, particularly when the existing flock consists of mature hens and the new hens are significantly outnumbered. What has happened here, is actually, downright cruel!

      Correct. But what is the right way? I usually put the newcomer chicken in a cage the size of the pen..

    Hi. Even though your coop looks quite cozy and safe, I think it is not spacious enough for so many chickens.

    U should always introduce new chickens slowly like with a fence between them for a few days at least til the flock gets used to the new chickens. It’s always best to have them separated until the existing flock accepts the new chickens.

    • @alexd9425
      @alexd9425 Před 10 měsíci

      I agree. This prevents unwanted stress and fights among the flock as they establish a new pecking order.

    @majic452 Před 7 lety +13

    Introducing new hens is difficult the more room you have the better in my experience it takes about two weeks for things to calm down and the pecking order to be established you tend to find that the old last in the pecking order hen is the most aggressive toward the new comer just keep a close eye on what is going on ,there will be aggression this is natural but if the new hen bleeds remove it and put it in a temporary pen with just chicken wire to separate them until the wound has heeled

    I know everyone has there own way to introduce new hens in to a flock. And yes they have a pecking order just as any animal would. I have had great results introducing new hens and night. They end up sleeping together which makes a difference, instead of just putting them into your pen. I feel that is a Bad call and definitely asking for trouble!!! Just Say'n!!!!

If you don't want people to make comments on your videos I suggest you don't post your videos. We all find that CZcams is very useful tool and we all learn from other people's videos so all of us out in the chicken world are learning from one another whether it's good decisions or bad decisions. So it's a shame that you are so petty that you have to stoop to the level to call someone ugly names

    That's not how you add new chicken to a coop, you should of had a separate area for them but make it so they can see each other, and then give them time to get use to each other then put them together, even then you have to keep an eye on them so you don't have to much aggregation or even having your chickens killed. That is cruel putting them together like that. It's like watching a cockfighting. So wrong

      But yet, you just said, even after a slow introduction you need to keep an eye on them? I bet in either circumstance there could be a bad or good outcome. Even slow introductions can have some serious fighting 3 weeks later.

    • @urbanrat84
      @urbanrat84 Před 4 lety

      They do this to each other regardless so keeping them separate just delays them sorting out who's where in the pecking order. This was supervised and they were not too stressed, eating, the odd peck or getting out of the way. Pretty uneventful

      If you have a rooster then they will not fight as much. Usually when you have a rooster he will put things in control. I have a rooster that kicks both hens and puts them in their place if they start fighting in front of him.
