I Just Doubled My Flock

[PolarBear]

I don't know if this is the right place for this or not, but it's the closest thing I saw. When I woke up this morning I had 6 hens and 1 rooster. I just got back from buying 6 of the sweetest, most beautiful Rhode Island Red hens that I have ever seen. I had to drive about 2 1/2 hours each way to get them and it was dark when I got back so they're roosting now. I won't be able to see how they interact with the other birds until tomorrow, but I am so excited.

dont forget to quarantine!! very important so you dont get your existing flock sick!

Grats on the RIR.... i love that breed

You should really keep the new isolated from your existing flock for up to 30 days. The new will not have the same antibodies that your existing flock has and could introduce disease to your existing.
Hope all goes well.
