Will my hen be lonely?

[MissMini]

I am looking to re-home my hens 2 pesky brother roosters. It's just them 3 and personally I think she's being worn thin by them both chasing her and occasionally bullying and humping her. If I was to re-home the roosters would my hen pine for them? Also what would be the best approach to introducing her to 2 new hens? Sorry if this is a silly question and thank you in advance!

I've known people to successfully keep single hens when the hen is very tame and they are able to give her a lot of attention. But generally speaking, a single hen will be a stressed hen because they are flock animals that feel safer in groups.

What breed is she?

 

[MissMini]

She's a Black Jersey Giant.

She's a Black Jersey Giant.

I was just asking because some breeds (actually Silkies in particular) integrate very easily in together.

Get a couple more hens and she will integrate in.

How is best to integrate her without her being hurt? I'd hate to do it wrong she's such a lovely little hen.

I'd say no. They can be quite feisty. I find Barred Rocks good in my experience. Silkies as well.
