What is the easiest way to introduce new chickens to an existing flock?

[Cooks]

He made this with some s"Ooops, word censored!"s of wood he had in the garage, and it is obviously going in the WIR so I am not bothering to paint it, it's only being used for a few weeks until they go with the big girls, but it gets them out the cat box.. I was then going to chuck it out but it looks like it has a new home to go to when I am finished with it.

Edited to add he lade the door a bit bigger than he normally would have as they are orps and we are unsire how long they will use it so preparing for them to get BIG girls

 

 

They like it already!!!!

Cookie that looks lovely, I have a similar as an extra nest box, not that they use it, but it looks fab!

[Cooks]

thanks, I wont be keeping this in the run as I dont want to confuse them, I'd like them laying just in the cube if possible (although Flo does lay under bushes)

 

The girls had their first night in it last night and told me all about it this morning... jabbering away they were I think they approve.
