ruby Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 we have had our 2 ladies for 4 months now, and they started laying about 6 weeks ago. we get about 10 eggs a week and have really developed a taste for them Our relatives have also got a taste for them, and we are now ignoring the phone We are now regretting getting 2 chickens and really think we need a third!!!! Is it going to be a problem adding another chicken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moochoo Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 The short answer is yes, but it's not impossible. You will need a way to separate them and do introductions really slowly. I hate to tell you but you may have more luck introducing 2 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERTIE MCSQUIRTY Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 i went for 2 new ones last week, and just threw them in together - it took about half a day for the pecking order to be sorted out and have had no real problems (apart from losing one today i.e missing not dead).
