New Pullets

Over the weekend I had a friend reach out online that they were going to revamp their coop and wanted someone to take their 3 pullets.  So Sunday I picked up a buff orphington, austalorp, and ameracuna.

It has been an interesting experience introducing 3 new pullets.  The barred rock which I seemed like the most submissive of the group has taken to trying to dominate the new pullets and has challenged the alpha Wyandotte a few times.  The ameracuna seems to be the alpha from the other group.

Three days in the two groups stay separate.  Occasionally my original 3 will run off the others from an area.  The only exception is in the run.  The new group has been sleeping on the roof of the coop and the other three in the run.  I'm thinking I may have to create a raised and separate coop for the new ones but I'll give it a little more time to if they get acclimated.
