Thank you for the article! The Araucana that was being picked on is over a year old. We were thinking of getting one or two 1 week old chicks and introduce them to her so she has company in her coop/run until we decide to integrate the Araucanas with our Rhode Island Reds. But I am wondering if...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes! We just got them at the beginning of May.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We had four up until last weekend--now we have five.
(3) What breeds do you have?
We have four Rhode Island Reds and one Araucana.
(4) How...
EDIT: Thank you for your responses! We are going to hold off on getting any chicks and allow the chicken's feathers to grow back before we introduce her to our flock. This was very helpful!
Hello!
So I have taken in my brother's Araucana chicken because she was the bottom of the pecking order...
