I am still shaking, - this morning I went to my coop to find 4 of my pullets dead, 2 were inside the snake, and----- two dead on the floor. I have 1 pullet that survived 🄹 but she is so sad and----- screaming for her friends. My question is The TSC has chicks, that I would love to bring into my flock.. but can I introduce them to a 6 week old brahma pullet?
Will I have to quarantine the new babies from her?
She is super gentle and sweet so I don't want her to be alone..
Thank in advance for any advice
 
So sorry for your loss. :hugsI’ve kept chicks who were about 6 weeks apart together before with no problems, at least that I can remember.
 
I'm sorry you loss and hope you sealed any holes so the snakes can't kill anymore.The trauma from predator attacks can cause chickens to go into shock.I would bring the remaining chick in for a day or two until it calms down
