Welcome to BYC!!
Made an account to be able to ask for feed and other care advice. Here are my two baby girls who are turning 3 this year. As you can see they are very clingy, it was my mom who got them in 2020 but now I care for them. I wonder if it would be safe to introduce a third? I have read online that you should have at least three but also that they can bully any new girl you try to introduce. I am very scared of my girls bullying a new girl, so is it really worth introducing a new member to our squad?
Linnea (left) is a smålandshöna, a local breed and Roxette (right) is a legbar mix. Got them from the same breeder.
We're so happy you've decided to join us
Yeah that is what I am thinking, obviously I would have to get a bigger house. I don't want more girls but if it's the necessary for them to be happier I understand it's what I need to do.
That makes sense. I would have to find a bounded pair then, preferably adults since baby life was tough. I like my adults girl because of independent they are. I am home all days except Tuesdays when I go to the office so they can always call for me.Hello and welcome to BYC!
Adorable photo!The idea behind adding 2 birds is because 1 becomes a huge target and 1 bird can get bullied to death during the introduction period. So if at all possible, add 2. If this isn't possible, 1 bird will need to be watched and worked with for months by you, constant supervision, until she has been accepted by your 2 birds.
Good luck and welcome aboard!
