Hello everyone! Question for those more experienced chicken keepers out there....
We have a flock of 10 mixed breed pullets 5 weeks old. A friend approached me and asked if we would be willing to adopt in a 10 week old rescue. They have two adult hens that won't allow it in the coop (I don't know details about the behavior). So they currently have this poor bird in a pen by herself. I am concerned, however, about how that dynamic would work given the age difference. Thoughts about this? It is the opposite of most integration issues. I would also love to hear thoughts about quarantine times and methods. Thank you for any help!
