I got a friend who's family has one chicken. They're considering getting another. Individual chicken personalities aside, would it be best to get add two chickens instead of just one to a flock of one chicken?

That's pretty much what I told my friend. I told him it's best to get more than one for starting out. He said they may add more than one which is what I recommended. Even though they won't be the best of friends at first, like you said, the older one will appreciate it.Flocks should have at least 3 chickens in case one dies. I'd add two. The new birds though more numerous, will be in new territory. The lone bird should appreciate friends.
I'm not really replying to the original post. I'm down to one chicken also and was wondering about adding a new chick or chicks. What would be the correct response to this question?
