I have three older (4-5 years best guess) hens and have been offered 3 more that are 6-7 months old. Two questions:
1) My coop has ground space of 4' x 8' and 6-7' tall, with a ladder up to the nesting area that is a little less than half that floor print and about 3 feet high.
2) I don't currently have a way to house the 3 new ones separately. We have lots of free range space, and the girls get a daily outing. How many of you have been able to just add the newbies at night, and have them work things out?
