Chirping
We had 6 chickens when the neighbors dog attacked and only one female survived so we just got 6 more baby chicks and I'm not sure how to introduce them. I've read people add younger chicks to a flock at night but this is the opposite problem, I'll be introducing an older chicken to a flock of much younger ones.
Should I add the older lady to the brooder until the younger are old enough to stay in the hen house or should I leave the older one outside alone?
The older one is about 3 months old, she's not laying yet and she is a gold-laced Wyanndotte, the new baby chicks are Australorps maybe a few days old.
