How to integrate 1 hen into a free range flock of 5?
This This sounds the most promising so far, thank you! I am not sure on who has the mid range in my pecking order, there's only 4 ladies but im gonna take a guess and see what happens. The size of the enclosure is about 4x2 ft and maybe 3 ft tall. Is that too small to try this method with?- DBeebe06

How to integrate 1 hen into a free range flock of 5?
I for sure will be keeping her in a large cat carrier in the coop at night to make sure she is safe and for at least the weekend maybe even the week keep her in the small enclosure outside during the day, I want to be sure she knows where "home" is before she's let out, we will see I guess!- DBeebe06

How to integrate 1 hen into a free range flock of 5?
The original flock is about 16 weeks and the new girl is 13 weeks. My girls aren't laying yet but they're getting very red and I assume it'll happen any day now.- DBeebe06

How to integrate 1 hen into a free range flock of 5?
Unfortunately its not, it was fine when my original flock were chicks but I hatched them all so they have been together since day 1 and they're about 16 weeks now and the new girl is around 13 weeks.- DBeebe06

How to integrate 1 hen into a free range flock of 5?
She is in a small enclosure right now so she has outside space to herself, and I will be putting her in the carrier at night in the coop, I am just concerned about her being bullied or pecked to death once I do let her out, or she gets shunned and isn't welcomed into the flock and is all on her own.- DBeebe06

How to integrate 1 hen into a free range flock of 5?
I see all these nice ways to integrate new chickens to the flock but they involve keeping them in a similar area. I have a flock of 5, 1 roo and 4 hens, and I had an additional roo but traded him for a hen to my friend who had no roos. Now I have a small enclosure that can be moved from location...- DBeebe06
