Welcome to BYC Angel, thank you for joining the flock.

Hello Angel and welcome to BYC! Take @sourland's advice and read up on flock integration. It can be grueling. You asked about your coop. You might want to post your approximate location then look at the threads on coop building to give you a better idea of the basics of a healthy coop and run for your chickens. Best of luck to you.

Hi Angel, welcome to BYC! Thanks for including pictures of your birds. They're lovely. I'm glad you decided to join our friendly community.

Hi, Angel, and welcome to BYC! So excited you joined!
Best of luck with integrating your flock - one thing that I've learned is that you don't want to rush it, if at all possible, as things can get pretty rough if you do.
Make yourself at home in this amazing community!

Welcome to BYC Angel! I'm sorry you're having trouble integrating your new chicks. Did the broody hen hatch them, or did you use an incubator?

Hello, Angel, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Hi Angel, as others have said, read up on integrating your flock. Chickens can be quite vicious to newcomers. Best of luck.

The best time to integrate birds into another flock is when they are about the same size. If you try when they are too small some may be killed. They will establish a new pecking order. You will find a lot of good information here Good luck with your birds and have fun...
