is it ok to introduce a malay to the flock?

[sydney13]

im getting a malay in january and was wondering if it would be ok to put her into my flock of 5 hens? all the hens are docile breeds and i would introduce the malay with a faverolle that she would be raised with?

The Malay will probably most definitely be top of the flock. And there maybe some fighting at first, but once the other hens realize she's the boss then you probably won't have many problems.

How old is she going to be when you get her and where did you get her from?

 

[sydney13]

im getting her from a hatchery so i would introduce her at about 1 month or if my silkie goes broody i would try to raise the malay and faverolle with the silkie

Oh yeah, she should be fine.

dont stress about hatchery birds, they are not even the slighest bit aggresive
