I have had black sex-linked hens for 2 to 3 years. Good-natured egg-laying hens. Love them. I started out with 6. Two were stolen out of my coop. I've since added a keyed lock to keep human thieves out. I am getting some Mille Fleur d'Uccles and Whiting True Blues chicks soon. Has anyone had experience adding new birds to a small flock of mature black sex-linked hens?

Hi and welcome to BYC. I doubt the fact that the birds are sex-links makes any difference. It never did with my flock. Maybe take a look at this link - Flock integration

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
The key to successful integration is a LOT of space, multiple feeders and waterers and places to hide.
