I've had chickens for 3 years now. Started with 7 and now just down to 3. A light brahma, black sex link, and an Easter egger. I just raise them for eggs and name them all. They are really my pets and will live out their natural lives. This spring we got 10 new little chicks and they just turned 6 weeks old. I named them all after spices, so their my "spice girls" I got 2 light Brahms, 2 Easter Eggers, 2 salmon favorelles, 2 black laced wyandotte, and 2 speckled Sussex. I raised them inside and just introduced them to their coop. It's split in half so the big girls can't get to them, but they don't seem too interested yet. Hoping they will be one happy flock one day!

I is great having you here!
The flock integration should go well. Be careful though since big ones will often see little ones as food and not flock mates
