Hi everyone, this is my first time on Backyard Chickens. I ran across this site and am looking for some help with my flock. I currently have 3 wyandottes and 1 Rhode Island Red that I got last year as my first chickens. I started with 3 and 3 but lost one Rhode Island as a chick and lost one in the fall from unknown causes. She didn’t appear to be beaten up or anything we just found her dead. Even though I got them at the same time and they were in the same brooder the two breeds stayed kinda stayed separate. They currently are free ranging for about 6 hours a day and are in a large run the rest of the time. Lately, especially, I’ve noticed the lone Rhode Island by herself pretty much all the time. They have begun to pick on her more noticeably. I guess in the end, I was wondering what effect adding a couple of pullets would have on the current flock. We are planning on expanding their run this spring but don’t really have the right property setup to add a whole other coop and run. I have the ability to add a smaller coop and run for introductions but nothing adequate for long term use. Any help and further questions are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
