Depending on the space and the personality of the birds. Watch them very carefully for the first 3-4 days. Just re arranged mums into pure pairs. Within 24 hrs the Cinnamon cock had murdered the cinnmon hen. The silver hen from Flavia is just fine with mums silver gentleman. And mums normal hen is just fine with Spanna's normal gentleman. I just put grass on the floor for mine and the make a scrape in the dirt, sometimes using the grass also.

I've got 5 of these little guys at the moment first time I've had them 3 silvers , 2 hens one cock, a normal hen and a cinnamon cock all together in my avairy and doing really well, they have started to lay a couple of times but not settled down to one or two nests yet, but I have hope for when the weather starts to warm up. I'm quite enjoying them as a change from the Japs.
