So sorry to hear about Sophia. One of our two hens was just killed by a raccoon :-( . We didn't realize about the quarantine and went out right away to adopt a hen that needed a home from the animal shelter in santa cruz. Like you, we have just an Eglu and run in a Redwood City yard. I am very interested in how you handle the new introductions! I hope we have not made a terrible mistake in getting a new hen so soon. So far she is sleeping in a dog crate and they are both out in the yard under supervision. I really want them to be friends but am afraid to leave them in the 'glu together...oh dear...

Does ZsuZsu ever get broody? You could slip a chick under her when she is and let her raise it.

Thanks again, everyone, for your well-wishes and kind words. We're still on the search for a companion for ZsuZsu. Taking it slow so as to do the right thing.

Sorry about Sophia. Good luck getting a new gal integrated. We usually get a few chicks and slowly intro them to the older hens. You're right. It's not easy. Lots of pecking order acted out!

Hope it works for you to get an older hen.

We got an accidental rooster we have to rehome now. Argh!

So sorry about Sophia! Our girls are just over one year old, and as our household "compound" has expanded, we're thinking of getting more chickens to keep up. I look forward to hearing how it goes with RHH/

Hey Thomas,

So sad to hear about Sophia. RHH is great. Say Hi to Dawn for me!!

If you don't have what you are looking for, we are looking to rehome 1 hen. We have 5, which is a bit much for our small back yard.

Also, I trapped and rehomed that pesky raccoon today! He had taken over the garage so it was time to go.
