New Chickens

We added some new hens to our flock today. They are Golden Cross hens, about 6-7 months old, just started laying. New hens must be kept separated from the flock for a few days/week, to stop serious fighting.

We set up the dog pen for the new hens to stay in for a few days. Once everyone is comfortable, they will join the other ladies in the coop.

I wrote an article about adding new hens to a flock, if you are interested, you can read it here.

With adding two more hens to the flock, it should raise our egg production from 2-3 eggs daily to about 4 daily. (We had three hens, so now we have five)
