I am starting my new flock and i have recently bought two hens that are about two months old.
i tried putting both hens in the coop one was okay and perched up on the roost, but the other hen was attacked by my older hen that i have had for almost a year. I kept the one that didn't get attacked in the coop with the rest, i kept the other hen on the top portion of the coop which is a smaller coop for now. Hopefully I get an answer soon so tomorrow I'll know exactly to do! Since its night over here in Los Angeles
I want to know how to introduce them to each other without my older hen attacking my new hens.
Can there be an explanation why she attacked one and not the other?
Did she feel threatened by the new hens and attack?
How can i make her get used to the new hens?
Is this probably normal their first meeting?
