Introducing pullets the same age

[Thelocalladies]

Hi everyone,

So this is my first go at introducing chickens that haven't been raised together. My current chicks are 6-7 weeks old, and we're getting 3 additional pullets tomorrow. We have a box we constructed with wood and chicken wire which should be big enough for the 3 pullets temporarily. Our coop is currently undergoing some renovations, so there isn't enough space to create a chicken wire wall to separate them within the coop. Do you have any recommendations on how to go about introducing them? I will post a photo of the coop (pre-reno) and a brooder box similar to ours, see what you guys think.

Thanks again!

Hello, @sourland mentioned quarantine...an excellent reminder that new additions should be kept away from your current birds for at least 30 days. Maybe that will give you time to complete the coop/run so you can use the "see/don't touch" method to introduce them. This is a good article on adding to your flock: adding-to-your-flock.47756

Best of luck!
