I had a question about introducing my new chicks to our chickens. Currently we only have three hens and are expanding our flock by quite a lot. I have ordered nine chicks from Ideal Poultry but I'm not sure when we will get them. The three hens we do have are very sweet and one seemed to go broody at one point last year for a few days (the buff orpington). With so few adult hens will it be as difficult to introduce the nine chicks. I'm also halfway expecting some packing peanuts as it has been cold lately. Thanks!
