I have a small backyard flock of 10 hens with one, possibly two Silkire roosters. They are all between 7 months old and up to 1 year old. Four of them were recently added to the flick, including a 6 month old gold laced polish. She is the only polish I have and she seems to be an outsider. My chickens free range all day and they end up in different cliques, but "Siouxsie" is always by herself. I realize now I should have gotten two, but I thought she would just assimilate with the silkies (1 hen and 2 roosters. I think, who are about the same age), but she hasn't. It's been a couple of months. She pretty much stays by herself. If I added another polish now who is the same age, would they automatically bond, or would I just be adding another potentially lonely bird to my flock??
