Single hen

[Ygerna]

As I may have mentioned my cube arrived last week, giving us two eglus and the cube. As three of the girls had been picking on poor charlotte, I decided to split them up. I put two in the whilst one of the others went into the with the three girls that get along fine. Two new girls are currently in To start with the single bully did have a go at poor charlotte but a week on and it seems to have stopped.

 

ALL of them have been freeranging together in the last two days.

 

Still with me

 

So, tomorrow the is going meaning that the two bullies are now going to have to go somewhere.

 

I really am loathe to upset the apple cart with the rehab of the singled bully, but, can't see a way round it.

 

So do I?..

 

A)put the two bullies into the so re-establishing my original flock and hope that the week apart has broken their habits.

 

B)Put the two NEW girls into the and the two big girls into the for a further week or two.

 

C) something else...

 

I really could use some ideas on this please

 

TIA

How old are the new girls? Are they very much younger? If they are POL i think i'd put them in the and see how it goes. If they are younger then i'd put the two bullies in the in the hope that the break away from the flock might have slightly changed the pecking order.

I have decided to keep the new girls seperate for now, and let the original girls re-establish themselves, hopefully with less bickering and meaness.

 

Fingers crossed. Thanks for replying

Gosh you are having a challenging time. I'm a bit slow you would have to draw simple diagrams for me. Anyway hope it works out.

Well, i put them in the run about 5ish today, and they seemed to run along together ok. I will just have to be up early to make sure that they are not left in the Cube too long in the morning.
