tom123 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 They are POL Lucy is already very tame however Bertie is definitely the more dominant and has a go at Lucy quite often but its getting better now Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom123 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks Guys they really are lovely hens... Bertie is now called Poppy for two reasons my mum thought it sounded like a boy and my nan said i should call her poppy as I got her on remembrance Sunday! Here is some pics... Bertie now renamed...Poppy And Lucy looking scary! And the two of them together! About the intros... Today I got home from school and let the new girls out for the first time and they were so good and then I let Milly out... Perfect! they looked like they had known each other for years! They were happy to share some corn and come and peck around me together BUT then I thought I would let Molly out...Not a good idea she ran straight for Lucy and attacked her, hackles up squawking and grabbed her by the tail and pulled her about and I know this is normal but I couldn't understand why Milly hadn't done this So I put Molly on her own in the rabbit run and left Milly,Lucy and Poppy out together. When it got dark all three of them happily went to bed together in the normal house and poor Molly was alone in the rabbit ark. Tomorrow I plan to let the three of them out for a while then slowly introduce Molly to them !!! Sorry I waffled on but I was quite surprised by each individual hens reactions! I will keep you posted Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Great pics. Hope they are settling down. Mine have been doing a bit of chasing and pecking on back of neck. Its not nice is it. Cant blame her being jealous of your new girls good looks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
