We often introduce new chickens of either gender to the flock by putting them in a cage where the flock can be as curious as they want without fighting the new birds. This takes only a day or two and by then the flock will just accept to new birds. There will still be some squabbles as the pecking order must be maintained but the new birds are not usually mobbed by the whole flock.

∙ 14y agoIf they are free range you can cage the younger ones outside so they get accustomed to the outdoors and older birds and so they roost where they are supposed to. leave them in the cage for around a week and then open the cage door. Watch carefully and if they are getting picked on too much you will need to recage them for a little longer.
