Adding two or three birds shouldn't be a problem but please never be tempted to add one girl on her own. It's a basic principle that the bullying will get divided between the new girls, so three gives the newbies a good chance.
Free hens are happy hens. Chicken centreparcs now complete! The girls love it.

i would try and get them all at once if that's possible
it cuts the risk of rows in the coop down as everyone is new
to the flock
