hello again, i have 2 chickens at the moment who are 12 months old and i am thinking of getting two other chickens and adding them to our small group of girls, my question is this, " is it ok to add new chickens with older chickens" 
I love to talk about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about!! You have to be a bit careful about mixing them straight away, if possible house the new ones where all the chooks can see each other for a few days. Then put the new girls to bed with the older ones at night. Someone did suggest spraying all the chooks in the coop with dilute vinegar and water so they all smell the same. Not sure if that works, but might be worth a try. There'll probably be a bit of a scuffle for a little while, while the new pecking order is sorted out.
)..always spraying away from the head...and then popping them all in together at night.
