Is it okay to mix a bantam rooster with two rhode island red hens in the same coop?
Yes, but you need to introduce them at night to reduce fighting. If you mix them during daylight hours you will have injured to dead chickens to tend to. At least an hour after sun down is when you want to mix them. However there will still be some hen pecking for a few weeks but if they have a lot of room to run around in then you shouldn't have any injuries.

How do you change the time of chicken cock-a-doodle-doing?
The rooster crowed at midnight.....a popular beginning to those early mystery books. Well, a rooster can and does crow at midnight. They crow when they see light. They can see light much better than humans which is why if you hear a rooster crowing at 5 am and it is still dark, he sees the sun rising. If he has a window in his coop he will crow when a car passes by and the headlights shine in his coop. To change the time your bird crows you must make sure all light is blocked from the interior of his roosting area.

Yes, it only takes a few days for the chickens to know where they live.

When new hens are introduced to the flock they sometimes try to roost outside the coop the first night until they are used to the pecking order (who sleeps where).
