Hi. I took in 2 abandoned black star hens about 18 months ago. My first chickens. They've been doing fine but I lost one recently. (Not LOST. She only had one wing and fell in my pond close to dark when I was out of earshot.)

Martha seemed really despondent without Abby at first and now, even though she's better, I understand these are social animals and I never intended to just have ONE. (And I'm really tired of eating my dinner outside so she has some company.)

I've called around to shelters and humane societies but either they already ARE forever homes or they simply never get chickens that need a foster home. I had already planned on ordering some black star chicks but I REALLY don't need 10. I was wondering if anyone would like 6 or 7 when I order them. I'm in north Henry County, Georgia.

I'm attaching the last picture I have with Abby. She's the big girl in the background.

Hello, and welcome! Good luck with finding your lonely hen a friend! I agree with what @DobieLover mentioned above as for when you find one then quarantine the new one for 30 day's to make sure that it isn't bringing in an illness or something that could infect your Martha. It will also help to introduce them to each other if all is clear.
