Hi folks, pretty new to the forum and a new chicken owner as well. We originally planned on getting 5 - 6 chickens but were only able to barely find 4 a few weeks ago, we'd really like to add 2 more to the flock, however I was unaware that by waiting a pecking order had been established and I'd have to slowly introduce them.
I know there are tons of threads already asking this question and tons of information on the web about doing this so I apologize for beating a dead horse. I've read many of those threads and content online, however none of them really mention what to do at night?
I get the basics, quarantine them, keep them separated but close to each other so they can get acquainted, own food and water, etc... but what to do at night? Should they go into the coop with the rest of the gang?
I have a decent sized run and I have room where I can separate them fairly easily but hung up on what to with them at night. Thanks so much in advance for your time and help.
