mullethunter Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 My mum now only has one, ex commercial girl left after losing two unexpectedly over the last couple of weeks. Would it be ok to introduce 2 or 3 10 week olds to her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Yes, but do it slowly, letting them see each other from separate pens first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Absolutely fine. My mums pretty old school with her chickens so rather than sensible, gradual intros she went for the bung the new girls in under the cover of darkness option. As it turned out the new girls were quite big despite being POL - biggest hybrids I’ve seen - so after a very small amount of argy bargy things were sorted. The old girl refused to associate with the newbies unless absolutely for a few days but now they’re gelling as a group. Very successful 😃 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
