Hi Folks
I brought two new girls two days ago but if i put them in with the older girls they fight ( i understand the pecking order), so i separate them during the day, my problem is i only have one coop so at night have to put them in all together ( they seem fine with this as long as it's dark), do you think this is ok
your thoughts please

ok good news is not to panic this is what most of us mad fools have gone through at some time or another ..... right when you seperate them in the day are they able to see each other ?? are they in a small run in the main run ?? on a more serious side have you thought about the quarantine period ??
in my experiance with introducing new hens i placed them in a broody coop and run into the main run for two weeks then let them out sure at first there was a few feathers ruffled but after a few days no issues.
hope it helps and im sure someone with a few more years experiance will offer advice x

good luck

hi yes they are in the main run and was planning on keeping them apart for two weeks but is it ok to put them all in together at night, they dont fight when in there
