    Integrating 4 new Hens---How long before you think they'll be accepted

    We had a hard time getting the 4 new hens introduced to an established flock of 13 hens & 1 Roo, so we have them separated in their coop by a fence.

    Update- What is going on with my hens???? Please help

    I noticed one out of the 4 hens has bloody poop. Last night I started them on Vitamins & Electrolytes. They are acting normal though today, but this has me very concerned. I've been reading about symptoms, and am hoping they aren't coming down with Coccidiosis. What type of meds do y'all...

    Emergency--What's wrong with my 15 week old hen?

    Chubby Cheeks my EE is normally very active and vocal. I just checked on her, she's laying around and sleeping. When she stands up, she immediately closes her eyes and goes to sleep.

    What's the best way to introduce news Hens in with established ones?

    Our Hens are so backwards right now, on going in to the coop at night. We have to make them go in, and we'll go back and check on them a short time later and they're right back out in their yard. That's another problem we are dealing with right now, lol.

    What's the best way to introduce news Hens in with established ones?

    I have 3 EE's and 1 Cornish Hen almost 13 weeks old, and around a month ago, we tried to introduce them in with the already established Hens, and it was a disaster. The Older Hens literally tried to beat the heck out of them, while Red the Rooster played the protector and tried to keep the...
