Thank you all so incredibly much!
Today I picked up a 12 month old white leg/ Rhode Island cross.
there is no fighting. Even before I introduced the two, my RIR is acting really really weird-
She just has the stares. She has sat all day, and done nothing. Is this normal?
After the introduction...
You all are so supportive and helpful.
I will go to chat, check listings in my area, and just will check with hatcheries online. Maybe I'll get 2 hens juvenile if possible, or luck out and find an adult RIR hen near me.
Yes- I only want a hen. They were for eggs and pets.
I know it happens...
As I posted in the emergency section, I was kindly led here to also look for some help.
I have had my 2 girls since they were chicks and one was just killed- her sister is so upset already. I need to find another RIR pullet, or very young adult hen asap. ( she was only 3 this year) If theses...

thank you for your support and advice. I'm sorry for your experience as well. Where would I look for another hen- do I get the same age hen?
These were my pets, my girls-I called them....very traumatic.
I'm hesitant in getting an adult hen because of the closeness these 2 had. a baby...
One of my 2 chickens was killed by a dog just a little while ago.
They've been together since they were hatchlings. The other hen knows what has happened- I can tell.
I dont know what to do from here about getting another chicken for her to be with.
Do I get an adult? or a chick? when?
How...
