ADDED A GIANT BIRD.

[Sierra Hughes]

Hey guys!!

I've had my eye on a light Brahma for awhile now and was FINALLY able to purchase one.

It is a pullet that's 4 months old. Not fond of people just yet... the people caught it with a net which freaked me out. My flock of 6 is very very friendly.
Any recommendations to get this girl just as friendly?

I'm adding the light Brahma in with --
two bantams (one cochin Bantam and also a rooster Bantam-- the only rooster in the flock)

2 barred rocks and an australorpe.

They are also four months old. However, the light Brahma is much larger in size.
Do Brahms's usually get along good with even the smallest size- Bantams.

Any suggestions on letting them introduce?

I have her inside currently feeding vitamins and electrolytes to make sure she's all good. Though, she came from an awesome well known breeder. Wanted to be sure. Plus it's been raining non stop here.

I don't have any light Brahmas, so I might not be much of any help here. Just wanted so say she is so cute!

And giving her the vitamins and electrolytes definitely won't hurt anything! I know it's good to keep new chickens quarantined for up to a month to make sure they don't get your other birds sick with anything you might not notice yet. We have big chickens and banties in the same pen, and they all tend to do fine. My old English bantam and bigger legbar roo seemed to have buddied up Lol!

Time and patience, calm cool confident.

I see you've already done some integration,
or at least asked about it.
I hope you have adequate coop space,
your other threads show tiny coops...
....but this might help now:

So might this:
Integration Basics:
It's all about territory and resources(space/food/water).
Existing birds will almost always attack new ones to defend their resources.
Understanding chicken behaviors is essential to integrating new birds into your flock.

Confine new birds within sight but physically segregated from older/existing birds for several weeks, so they can see and get used to each other but not physically interact.

In adjacent runs, spread scratch grains along the dividing mesh, best if mesh is just big enough for birds to stick their head thru, so they get used to eating together.

The more space, the better. Birds will peck to establish dominance, the pecked bird needs space to get away. As long as there's no copious blood drawn and/or new bird is not trapped/pinned down and beaten unmercilessly, let them work it out. Every time you interfere or remove new birds, they'll have to start the pecking order thing all over again.

Multiple feed/water stations. Dominance issues are most often carried out over sustenance, more stations lessens the frequency of that issue.

Places for the new birds to hide 'out of line of sight'(but not a dead end trap) and/or up and away from any bully birds. Roosts, pallets or boards leaned up against walls or up on concrete blocks, old chairs tables, branches, logs, stumps out in the run can really help. Lots of diversion and places to 'hide' instead of bare wide open run.

This used to be a better search, new format has reduced it's efficacy, but still:
Read up on integration..... BYC advanced search>titles only>integration
This is good place to start reading, BUT some info is outdated IMO:

If she's the kind that get's as big as some I've seen I wouldn't worry about integrating her, she won't be at the bottom of the pecking order for long!

Funny when old stuff pops up.
@Sierra Hughes how did this work out?

Brahmas are very gentle and docile giant fluff balls. I’m sure your Light Brahma pullet will get along just fine with your flock.

I have a light brahma pullet coming in April and I'm so excited! Enjoy her!
