Title: Do I mix them or don't I
Post by: Daisys Mum on May 04, 2013, 01:01:08 pm

Just arrived back with 2 middle whites who are 8 weeks old they are in an adjoining field to my 10 week old Saddlebacks all are boys, the whites are trying very hard  to get through to the Saddlebacks should I let them or not? If I let them all run together there is lots of room with an ark at the top and at the bottom of the hill.

i'd let them get toknow each other thro the fence or a day or so and then let them in all together at a time you can keep and eye on them, try at feeding time and spraying them all with deodrant or suitable smelly will help them mix easier.
