I woke up this morning to find my 6month old girl dead. Failure to thrive is what I think, no symptoms etc, but she was only as heavy as her feathers the last days, though she ate 5 crickets yesterday. My question is in managing an introduction of a friend for 'Ami'. Do I get an older girl, or is it ok to get a week old chick? Either way, I understand the importance of slow introductions. Any input is appreciated. I do know how to intro the older girl, but a new chick would be new to me. Days are very warm, coop and run in a shaded area, nights are down to about low sixty to high 50's/ I am a newbie BackYarder, but fast learner. I actually would like a baby, I always wanted to train a chicken as I am a dog trainer! LOL!
