Thanks everyone for the welcome. When you say to add more hens does it matter if they are RIR'S? Should the hen's be older than the 7 I already have. Good grief I have 2 Roo's in a flock of 7 hens. I need more hen's for sure.
3 weeks ago we were given 8 birds. 2 Roosters one of which is over 2 years old and he is a Rhode Island Red. He shares a coop with his lady who is also a RIR and the same age. Upon receiving them all the RIR hen looked so battered, feathers missing around her neck, cone was very pale, it was sad...
