    Introducing a new hen to the flock

    Hi Lazy Gardener! Thanks so much for your reply! Yes my coup and run are huge so that's not a worry. But I don't have the space to quarantine them or keep them seperated for the first while. I guess we will just stick with the 3 that we have already. Thanks for your help!
