Hello!
We started our first small flock of chickens this past spring with three little chicks who all grew to be hens. Unfortunately, we lost one hen to a weasel about 4 months ago and then a couple of days ago we lost another of our two remaining hens to a hawk. Knowing that chickens prefer to have at least one other chicken as company, we are planning on attending a live animal auction to purchase a new hen tomorrow evening. What would be the best way to introduce these new hens to each other while also getting the new hen used to her new coop?
