    When to introduce new chickens?

    I just had a hen hatch some eggs for the first time. She integrated them into the flock from day one. At the same time, I had some of my eggs hatched and tossed them in the mix. There was some chasing and squawking, but everyone is settled in a few days later. In my limited experience...
