HELP!!! introducing a flock of chooks to a loner

[cherry]

I have a worry... We have one laying hen (an Isa Brown: "Kooki")(we had two originally, but one died a few month ago).
We were given a flock of eight laying hens (don't know what type they are.. look similar build to Kooki, but the colour is white) yesterday and put them into Kooki's pen. Are they gong to be alright?
Would it be wise to introduce another 4-5 in a few day's time?
We are in the process of building them a dome. Will be ready in a day or two.

Please HELP!!!

Many thanks!

The best thing to do is take one or two of the chooks from the main group and place it with the loner, then in a caouple of days introduce the 3 back to the main flock. Do it at night, and you shouldn't have too may problems.

Thank you very much for the advice. I hope they'll be OK. Poor Kooki looks a bit distressed...

Thanks again.
