Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[Roos]

Hi.We have got 2 new pullets(Bluebelle and Betty).We added them in last night to settle in and they were fine after a few minutes so we left them.This morning we went to open the door to let them out and they came out.We let Penny and Pickle free range and then we put them back in so they could see each other again and then they started pecking each other .

Does anybody now how long it will take them to settle in?

Please help.

Why not have a dekko at **these articles** re managing intros, from the FAQ section.

Well done. If you follow the tips and let them get used to each other gradually it will be far less traumatic for you and for them

Yes it not very nice watching them being pecked
