So on Monday we got our first chickens there about 6 months old. They are rhode islan reds. And they just started to lay but I want to add more chickens to my flock and my nieghbor want to give me 4 more birds that are about 1 1/2 years old. Will I be ok just to put the chickens together why they are all still kind of confused or should I take it slow and put a cage in the coop for them?
Here's a great link that discusses adding birds to the flock. https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=2593-adding-to-your-flock
