Is one 7 week pullet okay with 2 adult hens?

[AmeliaBedelia]

So something killed one of my two remaining pullets (already had to rehome a cockerel from the three "sexed female" chicks we brought home). So now Lassie is left alone except for our two adult hens, Amelia and Bedelia. They...mostly tolerate the pullets. But when free-ranging, they definitely operate as two separate groups. And now it's just...her.

So, what do I do? Do I need to find Lassie a new friend or two ASAP? Or will she fight with them since they'd be strangers? Should I try to get the adults to accept her well enough she can roost, etc, with them?

She was calling for Penny this morning and looking for her.

Any thoughts?

We got her an easter egger friend...any name suggestions?

Other chickens are named Amelia & Bedelia (cuckoo marans) and Lassie (buff orp).

At 7 weeks old, assuming the new bird is around the same age, they may take to each other without much fuss if you simply put them together, though I'd keep an eye on them at first to ensure there's no obvious immediate problems.

They are getting along well. Lassie has definitely been making sure the new one knows that Lassie is the boss, but nothing violent. Success!
