Introducing New Chickens

[BetterCluckNext]

About a years ago I ordered 4 sex links online and I am now hoping on expanding my flock . Is there any tips on introducing new chickens to an astablished flock? I am also looking into bantams and will that be an issue if they are smaller than the other chickens in the flock?

Hi there!

As long as you are introducing several bantams, they shouldn't have too many issues merging with the old flock. If you were only introducing one or two bantams, then you might be in trouble.

As for tips on introducing chickens to one another, I wrote a whole article on how to do so correctly. Here it is.
