So, I started our with three hens, and well, one died last summer, and one died a few weeks ago. That leaves me one buff, seemingly healthy, well fed, fat Orpington. She's lonely I think. I can't decide if I should give her away, make coq au vin (kidding) get her a chick (as she's relentlessly broody) or get her a companion, possibly an orphan rescue hen etc. She was the alpha hen for a while, pecking the feathers from her smaller, submissive Ameraucana best pal who recently died. How would she get along with a new friend? A baby? Any advice would be of great help!
Thanks!
Thanks!
