My new poor battery hen being bullied!

Recommended Posts

Glad to hear things are calming down for you. I remember the stress of introducing new hens to an existing flock. I was sick with worry every time I turned my back. My 6 ex batts have never been integrated with my two Omlet girls... It was a great excuse to get a cube.. :wink:

 

Do keep us posted on your progress! And well done for re-homing an ex batttery hen. They are such sweet creatures.

I hope things are being to settle down now, pasq. If you follow the advice to take things slowly I am sure they will, there is such a vast amount of knowledge available on the forum.

Do you have separate accommodation that you could use, I think you may live near us but until our four girls have moved into their cube I don't have an eglu to spare, if I had I would happily have leant it to you.

 

I hope it all settles down, keep us posted :D

Thanks Chrissie, that's very kind of you, nice to hear of someone very local!-Where do you live by the way? I'm in Rushden!

 

The only time they are actually togerther is nightime sleeping! I keep her in the eglu by day, and they free range all together a bit in evening when i'm back from work! Although they still keep their distance -probably normal for moment....?

 

 

Slowly but surely -it should hopefully turn out ok!?

 

 

ps: i dusted her with red mite powder last night, did the other 2 last week. Just as a precaution, as i found a few red mites in eglu last week! Horrible things!!
