Who to introduce to black sex link pullet

[Lexyrae17]

Thank you. I didn’t think so but I figured everything else would take it away

Is my pullet going to be okay alone for a month?

Breed is not too much of an issue, except for getting crested breeds.
Often times when you only get one crested breed they tend to be picked on. So best to have at least two crested breeds in a flock! That's really the only thing to worry about.

Okay, I really appreciate all your information and help!

Hi, sorry for your loss. You might find a couple of birds here on the BYC Buy-Sell-Trade forum (there's a section for Free also). Best wishes!

I had a pair of black sex link female pullets I raised from chicks, they free range the yard when I’m home during the day. Today when I went outside I saw a vulture had gotten one. I found the other one hiding in a dense pine tree. I feel so bad for my lone pullet. I know she needs a friend but idk how to go about it. Should I get a chick to raise until it’s older to put in with her? Or I probably can’t raise the chick alone and then I wouldn’t want those chicks to have a bond that my pullet wouldn’t have with them? Google gives me mixed answers!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to find a friend for her!
I had no idea vultures would go after chickens. I thought they only went after wounded or dead things but I googled it and found out that they will in fact go after chickens. We've got more than a few turkey vultures around our area. I will have to be more careful when they're around.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I'm so sorry you lost one of your girls.
I agree that getting 2 more girls about the same age, maybe a little younger, and slowly introducing them via the 'look don't touch' method for about 7 days before allowing them to intermingle will be best for her. Any breed will do but avoid Silkies or Polish as they are so different in appearance they often become the victims of bullying.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

I am so sorry for your loss. Always heartbreaking to lose them.

Your remaining bird will be confused awhile. You will need to pay a but more attention to this one, spend more time with her, I wouldn't leave her alone in the coop long and definitely not free ranging alone. You might keep her as a house chicken for now, in your mud room, laundry area, garage? She is pretty young and you don't want to traumatize her. Hopefully you can find some friends that are similar in age for her soon.
