Is it true to have all the same breeds of chickens together so when the molt feathers they don't peck and eat each others feathers and peck at each others flesh? is that right?

wave.gif Lonnee,

I've never heard of that. If it were true I'd be in trouble as I have many different breeds all in together. One big happy flock. wee.

I'm with andrewschookz, not so.

Hi Lonne and welcomtogroup.gif

Don't think you should worry at all, mixed breeds will be fine to keep together :-D

I have 7 orpington chicken hens and 3 english game bantams in the same coop and you can get more different breeds than those 2

Don't believe all that you are told.
I agree with the others here.
I have 3 breeds together and they are all fine.
They all roost together and never a problem with hurting each other.

Just realise that if you get a rooster you will have mixed breeds.
Nothing wrong with mixed breeds they are good layers.
