dippy bird Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 hi all, we have three chickens at the moment - a sussex called Betty, a sweetie called Judy and a ranger called margaret - they are all fantastic ! So friendly,nosey and very cheeky! We really want to get some more girls - I have ordered a bigger coop ready.What is the best way to introduce the new girls? I have read that if you rub your original girls with garlic and rub the new girls with garlic then it should be ok as they will all smell the same? Also,if I was to put them all in the new coop at the same time,would that be ok as it would be new to all of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have never heard that method myself and followed these guidelines. Good luck viewtopic.php?f=42&t=25886 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 thanks - I will hang on to the old coop and run for the new ones for a little while then.Ooohh so excited to be getting some new girls - didn't realise just how addictive keeping chickens is!! My sis-in-law is going to be getting some now as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
