I have a bit of a dilemma; a fox (at least we think...) got into my chickens yesterday and now all we have left are 2 Easter Eggers--one hen & one roo. I was hoping someone might have some insight into what I can do now because I am afraid the roo will pick on the hen since she is the only one that survived. I need to introduce some new chickens & found a local breeder that is selling 3-month-olds; would this be a problem if the roo & hen are 1 year? or since there are only 2 chickens, introductions may be easier?? I really need to remedy this fast to protect our hen; the roo is somewhat aggressive but not the worst I've seen however it still worries me.
Any advice on what age hens to introduce or whether 3-month-olds could potentially be introduced would be greatly appreciated. Considering there are only 2 chickens left, would a quicker introduction be possible if 6+ new hens are added to the flock? Any advice concerning this predicament would be extremely helpful. Thank you!
