Thanks to everyone for your comments and advice - so appreciated! I have some thinking to do before I make a decision on what would be best for Miss Tilley. She is a good egg layer and well loved by me and the neighbors so it was good to hear that one of my options could be just to let her be a...

My 3 year old hen, Miss Tilley, lost her sister 3 weeks ago and I need some advice on getting her a new family. Would like to add 2-3 chicks.
