We have one Easter egger hen. She free ranges at our shop. She stays mostly around the edge of the woods but does go all over. I want to introduce some new chickens to her and a rooster to them all.
The pullets are about 8 weeks old and I was thinking I would get 6-8. What is the best way to introduce them if I have no way to fence anyone in?
And I'd like to get a rooster also. Any tips on when and how to introduce him? How old should he be?
Thank you! I apologise for all the questions but we aquired the hen unexpectedly and I don't want her to be lonely. I also want her to have some protection from a rooster and possibly babies one day!
