andrewandcarly Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 well we have had our 4 new additions for 5 days now. they have been in the same run but separated. we have had a few fights through the fence with a little blood spilt but things have calmed down a lot now. I let them out all together in the garden last night for 10 minuts or so. there were a few minor squabbles. tonight they have been out together for an hour or so. the ex batts stayed up near the run entrance but did mingle with the others. there were a couple of minor incidents but nothing major. the pictures show 2 of the ex batts with a couple of the others finding out what grass is............well whats left of it now!!

clarissahen Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Isn't it fab they way they quickly become real hens again? they may be bald/tatty etc but they soon change onto the feathered beauties they were born to be...and we batt rescuers give them a real life! It's very good for the soul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I never tire of seeing pics of ex-batts learning to do what chickens should all be allowed to do. Heartwarming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Fantastic. It just shows that the slow intro method woks well. In a short while they will all be snuggling up together at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
