hens

I'm getting a few year old hens and already have one 30 week old pullet. do i need to keep them seperated, and if so, for how long?

Other than the quarentine, I don't think so. They should be friends before long. Quarentine is supposed to be 3 weeks.

If you only have one other pullet. It will be fine. Just watch for couple of days.

i just got what may be the 4 ugliest pullets i have ever seen. almost a year old and boy oh boy did that rooster ever do a number on them...lucky for them, i am now roosterless (just don't look in the freezer) so they have plenty of time to lay and grow feathers

2 brown leghorns, 2 unidentified green egg layers, and 1 polish (i think)

the polish must have fought back or avoided the rooster because she is fine but the other 4, U.G.L.Y.

UGLY

Keep them quarantined and look for signs of sickness. If they are sick, the rate of mortality would be minimal because you only introduced one bird. Dont make the mistake I did and integrate flocks immediately!
