Adding New Hen to Existing Hens?

Date sort Score sort
I would keep the new bird separate for about a month. When I integrated a couple of my flocks, I did it when they were free ranging. I took some scratch and spread it around. they were more interested in the scratch.
 
here is information about adding adult hens to an established flock:

Hope that it all works out and everyone gets along!
