Introducing one hen to the flock

[aart]

My coop is 5 x 5 x 6( without nesting boxes)

Bigger than I thought....I was assuming the nests were 12-14" out from coop.

The first picture was taken from inside my house because I was too lazy to go outside . So don’t feel bad for thinking it was small.

gosh now I have seen it very small 3 bird would be big load

It is 5 x 5 x 6 not including the nesting boxes. It is a terrible picture because I took it from inside my house because I was too lazy to go outside and take the picture

that is still quite small for birds of any number my math anymore stinks but
looks like the one I first had that I sold as I could not put 3 birds in it without it
being crowded it was a prefab

I am 5’7 and I can lay length wise in it because the nesting boxes are are 2 x 5. Plus my hens are free range so they don’t spend too much time in the coop. They also have a run. How big is your current coop? And how many chickens do you keep in it?

5 x 5 is 25 ft.². Max would be 6. I always count my JG as 2. So you should be fine for now I think. I have 18 in a 12x8. So we can get just a few more next year ( chicken math). I have to agree the first picture you sent it did look terribly small. But the inside looks like you might have a good set up to be able to separate them for a short while. You will be able to tell if it will take a few days for a bit longer by the way your other chickens react. Mine scream for days. So it takes me a while but yours are yours are younger and they all react different
