We are down to one older hen and it’s so sad to see her alone. I’m concerned about her going into winter. We plan to get another batch of chicks this spring (we are only allowed 6 chickens where we live). But, I’m wondering if it would be better for her to get one or two older hen right now to keep her company? Or would that be more stressful for her? I have an opportunity to get some chicks this fall instead and I’m not sure if that’s the best way to go? Would love any advice! Thanks!
