    Introducing two new hens to our single existing hen.

    I was the one that found her dead in the coop and took her to her bird vet. I'm new to introducing new chickens, not new to animal safety and well fare. I appreciate your concerns, while valid, I never mentioned throwing them in the run together at first (as you perviously did) and can't...

    OK, that's all I wanted to know. Needed to clarify so I can ensure the safety of all 3. Thanks

    Introducing two new hens to our single existing hen.

    I would be devastated to lose her, which is why I was wondering if you thought keeping them inside in a room was better than keeping them separated by a distance of one football field.

    Introducing two new hens to our single existing hen.

    Hi!! Thanks for your help, this is really useful info! We have enough space to put them about one football field length away. Do you think this is ok? Otherwise, we have an extra bedroom that we used for our brooder many months ago. It's been deep cleaned many times since and we could set them...

    Introducing two new hens to our single existing hen.

    Hi Connie, Congrats on successfully integrating so many at one time! That is amazing. Did you quarantine yours at all? Our new hens are the same size and breed as our exiting hen. I hope that makes a difference. They're also the same age, but our girl is either one or two months older. Thanks!

    Introducing two new hens to our single existing hen.

    That is really helpful! I know the couple these girls are coming from took great care of them, but do you still recommend any type of quarantine time?

    Introducing two new hens to our single existing hen.

    Hi there! That's good to know! Would you suggest placing the crate inside the run with Pepper, or outside of it completely, then let Pepper out to free range depending on her reaction?

    Hi! Thank you for the warm welcome! I'm glad to know the wire crate will work. This will be the first time introducing new chickens, so I wanted to make sure.

    Introducing two new hens to our single existing hen.

    Hi Sue, Thanks for your response! We have a medium/large wire crate that we were thinking of using for the "see-no-touch" introduction. Do you think that would suffice?

    Introducing two new hens to our single existing hen.

    Hi everyone! Three days ago we lost our sweet Pie to a heart attack. We are absolutely devastated, but since Pepper is now alone and seemingly very confused and/or bored, we started looking at adopting another hen. (We got Pie and Pepper back in February as baby chicks and they were...
