could someone give me some help on intrioducing new chickens, i have brought 3 newgirls and my others are attacking them, i have seperated them for a while, thats what the seller told me to do. but its still really bad, any ideas ?

I was gonna say chuck em straight in but that hasn't really worked out for you ^^

You can place an enclosed run within the run or by the side. That way the choocks can see each other but cannot attack each other. Then, slowly introduce them to each other.

You can also move the chickens to a new environment to introduce them! This method works with any territorial animal and I use it with dogs and chickens that are bullying/being bullied

Good Luck!! ^^

wait until bed time and smother all the chicks with baby talc they will be less likely to get too visious when they all smell the same.

It worked for me mine have settled in nicely together
