To buy or not to buy?

Yeah, I was thinking of getting 6 or 7 more (8 at the most), so I still don't think space will be a problem.

I thought of getting more recently too, but am going to wait til spring here's why.....

I figured they would not be ready to introduce to the rest of the flock until December. By December my "free range" chickens are sticking pretty close to the coop. I worried that young new additions would be driven out, into the cold, by the older established birds. In the spring and summer it is easier for the young birds to escape the bullying of the older birds durring the restablishment of the pecking order that occures when new animals are introduced.
