   The ones I have are getting older, production is down. I might add some this spring, or start a new flock. I’ve had bad luck introducing chicks into an older flock before. lots of pecking and separating.
   
   I don’t just throw chicks in with them, but sometimes they don’t seem to get along when they are old enough to be together

     @Myshkin @givenup @scenesbycolleen @nugger If you have a smaller pen/dog kennel it can help acclimate them. Supposedly they're dumb enough to assume anyone who's there when they wake up is part of the flock, but more territorial breeds can take a few days before calming down. If they're separated by a fence for a little bit, seems to make it easier. Can place feed along the dividing line so they kind of intermingle
