stoice Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Well I've caught the bug. I rescued some ex-batts over a month ago and I adore them. Lovely characters and great fun to watch (Although proper bruisers sometimes). Anyway, for my birthday this weekend I'm collecting a black rock and a bluebelle I had ordered to accompany them. (Names picked already - Betty and Mable!). Apart from the introducing issue i just wanted to know other peoples experiences of the above breeds. Will they mix well with ex-batts (or will they be picked on?) They're POL at 16 or 18 weeks and am a little worried they'll be overwhelmed by the older (emotionally scarred) Ex-batts. Or are the new girls likely to take charge as they've been 'normal' their whole lives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 To be honest, they might be a little young to put with the other hens yet. Have you got separate accommodation for them until they have grown a bit? You might like to have a dekko at **this article** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
