My illegal hen is now confirmed to be a REALLY illegal rooster. I have found nice home for him but am wondering if remaining 2 Buff Orpington pullets will accept a same aged (3 mo.) Black Australorp being offered by a friend. If so, any tried & true tips about how & when to place her with others? Do I just paste up the newbie with "No Peck" goop?
