    Introducing two new hens

    Hey all. I have 5 hens currently, they started laying about 2 months ago. They’re approx 8-10 months old. We want to take in a couple new hens (Americaunas). Will it be problematic to just throw them in with the other 5? The two new ones are approx the same age as well. With it being winter, I...

    Help- New Layers -

    Hi Everyone. I've posted before, months back right after we got our chickens. We have 6 chickens, a variety of breeds. All supposedly great layers. They hit laying age right as it got cold (we live in Utah). They have a coop that is insulated good, but not great. We don't need heat lamps or...

    Essentially I’m not sure how best to “quarantine” the two new additions. The current flock of four that are almost 3 months are living in the coop/run. So the two new additions that are older will need to be kept separate from the current flock, and they won’t have nesting boxes (in the event...

    I’ve found some pullets that are 4 months old. Those saying we need to quarantine before putting them all together...how long do we need to do that for? My concern is that these 4mknth old hens will start laying before our current flock. We don’t have a ton of space to quarantine the two new...

    I just found a pullet that was born the same week as ours. A Brahma. Is it okay to pick her up and just add her to the flock? That simple?

    Oh man, this sucks. Thanks so much for all your input. They’re about 10 weeks old! Wondering if we should go try one more time and get another two chicks so that they’re not alone...and it’s warm enough outside I’m thinking we could integrate them to the flock fairly soon? What do you guys think?

    Is BLRW the blue laced? What does the R stand for? Do you both think for certain? Or is there still a chance it’s a female? It’s our favorite one so I’m going to be very bummed if it’s male :(
