So we have 4 -- 9 week old pullets who have been well established in their coop/ run for 4 weeks now. They also have free range of our fenced yard for a few hours in the morning and few hours im evening. My husband has decided we should get a couple more.
So i have found close by some 8 week old pullets- we are going to go look tomorow. She has easter eggers, delewares, speckled sussex, and buff orpingtons.
# 1- is this a good age to add two new comers? Or should we stick with the 4 we have?
#2- is there one of these 4 breeds that are known to be more freindly than the others? So as to make the introductions go smoother?
Or is it pretty easy to mix this age of birds?
I dont want to ruin a good thing. My 4 get along so well and i dont want any hurt chicks! Thanks
Oh and my current breeds if it makes a difference are
1 - ancona
1- partridge rock
1- red sex link
1- black sex link
