Wanting to add older hens!

[firestomp]

Thanks for the info! The older birds are from a family friend. They belong to her father who is getting too old and health issues are keeping him from being able to do the things he used to. They are 6 white leghorn hens about 4 yrs old.

these hens are at the end of their usefulness as good egg layers, you have gotten a lot of advice. Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions I had asked.

Just got offered to take some laying hens but all I have right now are three 3-month old orpingtons and I want to know if I can introduce those hens to these babies and if I can how should I do it? Thanks!

I think that the older and younger hens should be seperated until the younger ones are older. But when it is time to introduce them be sure to do it at night.
