New chickens introduced to flock

Two Colombian Rocks were added to the flock on Nov. 9.

[@tufaelahad6256]

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!

[@lennie5051]

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

[@LeoTheYuty]

@@lennie5051 I'd definitely say separating them with a fence or cage is the best idea, allowing them to see each other.

[@hectormaldonado4369]

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

[@ryanlewis194]

Reminds me of two new employees at work.

[@MichaelTovar]

When we introduced our Rooster to the hens, it jumped right out of the box and got right on top of one of the hens. It was soooo wierd.

[@nicandlucian]

brother was in jail too long, what you expect.:)

[@MichaelTovar]

Haha Lol

[@ShadowriverUB]

Thats normal ;p look rooster introduction videos, all of them does that. Simply after being lock down and you see much of ladies hormones kick in imidietly :p

[@nicandlucian]

Roosters like oh shit got me two new hot white chicks, black and brown hens like oh great white chicks just what we need around here, you lost itch know you place this isn't Beverly hills this is ma yard, "ruffle your feathers town". roosters like cam down triks there's plenty of me too go around besides your making me look bad in front the new chicks, I do the pecking round here, now let me show them ma steps.

I see the Rooster is trying to keep the peace.

[@lennie5051]

We all need that beautiful kind of rooster..

[@Raspukek-fu8un]

[@majic452]

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

[@agathadolan362]

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]

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

The male is like,hell yeah.Someday!

[@hawk3393]

Rooster is trying to do his thing the first day but it couldn't work. 😂

[@caweinbender1]

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!!!!

[@Erin-yp7vt]

It's sorta like going into prison lol

[@hardcorehunter9155]

Cheryl Weinbender to bad nobody cares bitch that doesn't make your way right that's made absolutely no diffrence either when I tried it they get pecked the same nothing u can do but let them sort it out

[@caweinbender1]

hardcore hunter I don't know who you are calling a BITCH.But I sure hope that's not Me. That just shows how petty you are and how disrespectful you can be. If you don't want people to make comments on your videos I suggest you don't post your videos. We all find that KZbin 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

[@terryedge3423]

@@caweinbender1 Yes Ma'am folks leave comments to learn from each other also but name calling helps knowone I have tried both ways and i found out the new chickens need room to hide as well and slowly work there way back in Broody hens as well have to earn there spot again . This is a good video and your comment is something to try as well Thank you

[@bluelightofyeshua733]

that rooster is beautiful

[@DarthZeromus]

The rooster @ 1:14... Those eyes, I've seen them before in a guy back in High school when he asked a girl out for the very first time.

my mean old hens would storm them so quick

[@dtiydr]

I have no really experience in hens and such but ill guess (?) these two hens have automatically the lowest rang in the group or how does it work?

Quarters in your chicken looks a little small. Too small. You need a bigger chicken coop.

[@carlosvega8417]

That Rooster got moves, I confused him with Jaden Smith.

[@mariannefroholdt9783]

They need to be together,but seperate so they lear to know one another,ore There will be fighting and problems ,and they need a lot of space outside,freerange😉

[@marshalldteach6704]

💙💙💙

[@hooligan923]

so basically just open the door and just fire the new hens in ;) nothing like adding a few new hens to the flock :)

[@mohammadzeeshan5308]

Happy rooster

What breed are the white chickens that are introducing

[@nikkiwright1352]

Jose Antonio Magaña Tapia Light Sussex

[@toshiyakiyonaga7182]

They need to have a big place to run and if they were bullied they can run away.

[@paulinemoon5822]

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

[@TruthFirst005]

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]

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

[@ПолинаГрузд]

If you use a very popular theme and are going through the process and the chickens time huh? Celling with me and my family is going well for me a day. Coming to a new house of the same year, and we to do...

i love reacting to these kinds of vidoes, and how you can see how the hen will give each other looks and will lower their wings witch is aggressive but im surprised at how calm the rooster and hens where, are chickens never act that friendly towards newcomers

[@terryedge3423]

True they like to corner the new hens or roosters mine do anyway

[@sarahc561]

Could they be introduced in a smaller setting?

[@jessicafrizzy4528]

What type of chicken is the blak and White one

[@allisonhouston4032]

Jessica Frizzy It's a Delaware chicken. Light brahma chickens also look like this, but they have feathered legs :)

[@AndreaATeran]

What happens if the old chicken is laying eggs daily and I introduce her to a new hen? I have a small area with a hen and a rooster only. Then hen lays eggs daily. I am unsure about putting the new hen in with the two because I fear they might fight. Any advice? Thanks :)

[@RavishingEddie]

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.

[@AndreaATeran]

Thank you for your response!

How not to assimilate chickens.

[@toshiyakiyonaga7182]

Hey men what are you doin you need to separate the bossy or bully hen

[@hardcorehunter9155]

toshi kiyonaga no you don't just shut the fuck up

[@0bstinacy]

technically it would be best. you are supposed to remove the bully hen if the behavior continues and gets worse. after few days they should be ok, but depending on severity may need to be longer. takes two fucking seconds to look this up. and also there is better ways to introduce chickens I dont even have to fking own one, again takes two 2nds to research with this magical thing called google.

[@jeffe6579]

you should rename this video to how to be cruel to your chickens.or I have no idea what I am doing.

[@metalmech583]

It's called a pecking order. Chickens will fight to establish and maintain dominance. Stop being so sensitive, it's fucking pathetic.

[@royortiz7550]

What did they did wrong can you tell me

[@TruthFirst005]

Even people who take the time to introduce chickens slowly, still will have fighting within a couple weeks. Some have even killed a chicken 3 weeks after a very slow introduction. Why is it such a bid deal? Chickens seemed like they were fine?

Coup is too small.
