    I have 6 hummingbird feeders; 3 in the front yard and 3 in the back yard. They hang from a single shepherds hook in each location. I also have a seed feeder for other birds in each location, less than 5 feet from the hummingbird feeders. While the hummingbirds will chase others from 'their' feeder they usually get along quite well and do not bother the birds at the other feeders at all.

    Good luck and enjoy!

    I have a humming bird feeder on my back deck with wild bird feeders no more than 20 feet away from them and I have never had a problem. Hummers are territorial with each other so multiple feeders In separate spots for them Is a good idea.

    The should be far apart and out of sight of each other, like one in the front yard and one in the backyard. Hummers are very territorial and will chase other hummers away from feeders.
