My girls new addition

[SammileeChickie]

I couldn't help but post this lovely picture I took of Birdie today

and here's my cutie Talulah
I call them sissies since they are sisters and they love being around each other
I recently got a new chicken, I don't know what to name her yet but introducing is going good

she's supposed to be a blue laced wyandotte but her body feathers look more white laced. Does introducing new chickens get better.? Will my chickens eventually except her because I feel bad when if let them free range and they don't let the new chicken join

They're all beautiful! They're so glossy and healthy looking.

As far as the introducing, I would check out this article for helpful info on further introducing her.

Best of luck.

Thank you

I'm trying to get the newest one healthier, she is very skinny and super light weight I'm not sure how much she weighs but she is definitely less than what my chickens weighed at that age. Her feathers are a little scruffy to, she's not as soft as my girls. The guy I bought her from had her in a smallish cage with like 20 something guinea fowl trampling her

poor thing probably didn't get to eat a lot. Do you known of any kind of good or treat to help plump her up again and give her some healthy weight besides organic chicken feed.?

Poor girl. Hopefully you can get her fattened up soon.

The best foods I can recommend that are both healthy and fattening for chickens are: oatmeal, mealworms, rice, quinoa, eggs and pasta. Make sure you don't overdo any of these and only give them in limited amounts each day. (Treats should technically take up no more than 10% of their daily diet.)

Hope this helps!
