New 6 week old chick?

[4Urbanchix]

I’m not sure yet, but I have been considering getting another 6 week old pullet. All of mine are currently 6 weeks and have been raised together. How could I introduce it to the flock?(I will make sure they are the same age)

Put up a temporary partition with chicken wire and use the see but can’t touch method for a few days / weeks.

At 6 weeks it's possible you can just put it in with the others, as they don't yet have the sort of pecking order that older chicks/adults would.

If you do so, keep an eye on things during the introduction, to make sure none of the existing birds go after it too badly. If things go well then that's that, otherwise see-but-don't-touch for a few days as mentioned above.
