will my spoiled chicken be mean to a new chicken?

Good luck!

I suggest adding more than one. And not a chick, at least 3 mos old when the introductions take place. Get ready for ruffled feathers.

 

She would but it will take a while. My chicken Roxie was very spoiled we built her a coop and run. She has had it all to herself . We got 5 new girls to put in the coop. Three we got as day old chicks. Two of them we got at 3 months old. When the three youngest ones were 10 weeks old out in the coop they all went. so we added 5 new girls to the queen roxie's coop/run. Can I say what a bully Roxie was. She'd chase them out of the coop. She'd chase them in the coop. Funny thing is they are all bigger than her and could kick her butt. But they didn't. They have been outside in the coop for 3 to 4 weeks and Roxie has just started to allow them near her. Then again she is molting for the first time. Most definetly get more than one bird to add to your one an only. And make sure they are old enough to get away from your one and only. Chances are she will not be nice at first!!

 

Mean, most likely until they get acquainted to each other. I doubt it will result in death, more than likely just some missing feathers for a few months. There is safety in numbers though, Add a half a dozen or so and she will be the timid one.

 

Definitely get 2 birds. If you just get one, that poor little girl will get all the aggression. At least if you have 2 new birds, they can pal around together until everyone gets used to each other.

If you're getting older birds, remember to quarantine the newbies for 30 days.
