After Harriet, Red and Sophia were out in the yard, I let them in with the younger six. This is the first time they have all been together. Red, the Rhoad Island Red, is the leader of the pack. It's the nature of the breed. She is alpha chicken. If I didn't have her, I think I could have them all together now. But since I don't trust her yet with them, we will keep them separated unless I'm with them.
Once the younger ones are closer to full grown and a little closer to her size, we'll try to put them all together permanently. They will learn to obey her and/or stay out of her way.
But aren't they cute?????
