New chickens!!!

[chickenlover432]

Hi guys, just thought I might tell you that I just got some more chooks. They're two little Iser Browns called Henny and Penny. They're still chicks and they're not laying yet. Could you please give me some advice on when to introduce them to the old girls?

Really need a little more info than you provided. How old are you two new ones? How old are your old girls?

Sorry, a bit too excited. OK so my old girl number #1 is five or six. I don't know the other ones age because we got her from the RSPCA and the didn't have any information about her except that she was laying(She stopped about a month ago though). Those are my only two old girls, the new ones are teenagers, they should start laying in about four weeks.

Never mind that. I ended up introducing them at night when they were all sleepy. But now I do have a problem: I know about the pecking order, but the old ones are actually going out of their way to stalk and peck the little ones. Is that normal?
