Would this be possible? We only have room for one more chicken :(, but would love a maran. There is an add on craiglist for maran pullets, about six weeks old. They look fully feathered in. We would of course wait to introduce her to my other hens, probably keeping her in a pen until about 14-16 weeks old. The pen would be in the middle of the other hens area, so they could get used to her. I have integrated a single pullet before, and it went a little rough, but I think I've learned alot.
And of course I'm also worried she might be lonely... I would THOROUGHLY spoil her! I would probably be out there half the time.
What do you think? Would this work?
I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.
