   I'm new so don't know the problems you had before.

   I usually introduce new birds at night. Chickens have quite a good sense of smell, by the morning they have often got used to each other. But I've never had a problem introducing new Cockerals, they usually introduce themselves.

   I'm sure it will all go well. What breeds are you keeping?
