How can you introduce a baby chick to a flock of bantams?

Depending on the age of the bird to be introduced and the size of the flock that it is to be introduced to will determine appropriate methods of introduction of your new fowl. Poultry do have a pecking order ( hierarchy) but fortunately have a short memory therefore the larger the flock the easier it is to introduce a new bird. Always introduce the bird early in the day and a time when you will be available to observe the other fowls behaviour. At first your new bird will be harassed by the other residents but within a few hours your flock will be one bird larger.
