Only two hens

[Jami F]

I had three isa browns- 3 years old . One has just passed away. Is 2 too few?

Two is enough to keep each other company, unless something happens to one of them.

The trouble with just having two, is as NatJ said, if one more passes away, then you will only have one.

Sorry for your loss.

I Agree with the other posters.

Consider raising 2 or 3 chicks to integrate in with them.. and make up for lost egg production.. unless you're not interested anymore.

Thanks everybody! I don’t want any roosters so I’ll try and find a place to get two little females.

Good luck!

Any suggestions on type to find? Mostly, these are just pets to me. Would want them to get along with Bella and Danni.

If yours are mostly pets, I would stay away from any hybrids that are bred for high egg production. They tend to have more reproductive issues.
Maybe leghorns, Rhode Island reds, Orpingtons, Autralorps... really a lot of possibilities.

I’m sorry about your loss. I would try to keep five just in case, as mentioned above, one or two passes.

Orpingtons, Australorps, and Cochins are my go to for pets. They tend to be very docile and friendly.

However we do have a frizzle (looks to be Cochin decent.?.?) that will walk right up to us and talk to us. Even let’s us pet her. Our frizzle rooster does this as well. I’m hoping to get chicks from them to get more.

Note: not frizzle to frizzle

Great, thanks again for the help. I will go online and try to find them.
