We lost one of our hens this week, we were given them just over a year ago from a guy who was getting rid as their egg production was slowing down, so I think they were quite old when we got them.
So we just have Henny Jenny left. She is looking very down and lonely.
I would like to get a couple of new ones to keep her company but am reluctant to get older ones now, as it is not fair on the kids (or me!) if they keep dying from old age.
I am thinking of getting some chicks but no idea how i should introduce them, or if it's a good idea, i want to avoid any scrapping!
