We've had our new hen living side-by-side but separated from our original hen (they're about the same size and same age) for a few weeks now and they are beginning to get used to each other. We let them wander around outside at opposite ends of the backyard and they seem content to stay away...
We have a black austrolorp hen and we'd like to get another one to keep her company. We recently got a 1 year-old golden laced wyandotte to be her companion but despite all our attempts at introducing the two of them gradually, they just don't like each other (individually, both are very sweet)...
