Hi, need some advice. I had four chickens 6 week old chickens and found out they are probably cochins. They are so cute and very friendly. I pick them up every day and handle them a bit to get them used to people. I lost one to predators this week and now am being VERY vigilant and locking them up better at night. So, I think I need another chicken or two because of the three that are left one appears to be a rooster. He is the only one getting what looks like a comb on his head. So I am not sure if two hens are enough for me. But since they are cochins, they are going to be larger right? I don't want them to be cramped in their chicken tractor and I don't know if it is hard to add a new chick in with the three already established in there. Any advice would be welcome. Jayne
