Howdy,
I have a nice sized coop, built to house 15 to 20. I currently only have 3 in there, 2 year old hens who are out all day then back in to roost in evening (no run). I'd like to add 15 pullets to the flock but I don't know how to make this happen within the coop that my 3 hens have. I know you need to give them time to get to know each other, and that they'll establish the pecking order, but how do I allow my free rangers to continue whilst holding the 15 pullets in for the period of time they need to know the coop as their home? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
