How to introduce new chickens to existing flock?

[ChickenLady_23]

I currently have 4 game bantams 2 pairs, I adopted 4 more 1roo 3 hens. I'm put a trio together in my empty section, but the 4th hen needs a place I was wanting to introduce her to another pair without any fighting? How I do that? Thank you

What you want to do is get a new pen right next to your existing run/coop. Put the chickes you want to introduce into the flock in the cage next to the coop. They can see each other and communicate but never get physical. At night you can put the new chickens in a pet carrier or crate or something inside your coop with the other chickens. Free ranging a little would be good too but keep a close eye on them.

Ok thank you I will try that see what happens, the hens I'm getting are laying already.
