I was afraid my last surviving chicken (Peg) would freeze over the winter without any friends to huddle with at night. I recently added 3 new girls and they are afraid of me and pecking her when she gets too close. She is truly our pet while the others will have to grown on us. I'm hand feeding them periodically on my days off to be sure she's eating and they are acclimating. I read the nice piece on introducing new flock members but it's more focused on disease.
Will it take two weeks to know if this is going to work out? Any ideas to get them used to the family quicker?
