Introducing 2 year old to flock of pullets?

[klaiello]

We recently lost 4 of our 5 chickens to a hawk attack. The one hen who is left is about 2 and we feel so bad she's alone! A friend has a young flock of about 8 week old pullets and offered to take ours. Has anyone had experience integrating an older hen into a flock of young pullets? I'm not sure what the ideal situation would be for her to go into.

Thanks!!

You might get some ideas from this article. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/introducing-a-single-hen-to-an-existing-flock.71997/

It's probably going to be much easier than introducing a hen to an existing flock of adults. But it's still best to do it gradually as the article describes.
