Technically I might not have a small flock

Hi so I had posted a question... I Might have two Roos instead three hens at one month old... I did find a home for the food if they are definitely Roos... we are new so since my one is a month old only wanted to have like 2-4 total... do you suggest I get two definitel hens ASAP while this one is one month?

That is your decision to make - chickens need company, and it is most likely that at least two are cockerels.

yes my question is can I add 2 now with one at a month old?does it have to be separate cage near each other or is this one month young enough to add a baby with?

I would not add day old chicks to the larger chicks. Wait until they are at least one week old and more mobile.

Are you taking the other birds out, before you add in the new? I would definitely do the see no touch, for a couple of weeks. The difference in size between 1 week and 4 weeks is amazing, but the different between 6 weeks and 10 weeks still there, but not so much.
