Hello Marina Walden.
Welcome to BYC.
You could buy a baby pen and bring the hen into the house while you quarantine the newcomers.

How long would you quarantine the new one & how could they get acclimated that way?

Quarantine and integration are two different steps.
Quarantine first for a month....then begin integration.

I shot the neighbors dog for killing 6 of my hens as they sat on my front porch. Here in nc, the law states that anything that even chases my poultry I can shoot to kill. So, even though there’s no leash law outside the city limits, people are still responsible for the actions of their animals.
