Hi, I have had chickens for about a year and a half and I absolutely love them! In the beginning, we had some troubles starting out our flock, dealing with two roosters and a fatality. So our original flock only had one hen that we could keep; to give the hen some company we got two more hens. Recently one of or hens died, leaving us two chickens. They are about a year and a half old and I want to increase the size of our flock by adding to more hens. Is that a good or bad idea? I would like to get them so that they are pretty young but big enough so my two hens won't hurt them. What are your thoughts? If I could pull it off how would I introduce them so they won't hurt each other?
