My three newest ladies are now settling well and free ranging, with a bit of pecking from the other 9 but nothing too drastic....

 

They are fascinated by the Cube and when the others aren't around, they secretly check it out! Here they are having a look...(I can literally hear Pia saying "Come on up and look at this, you won't believe what they get to sleep in!

 

 

Here is Charlotta checking things a bit closer

 

 

and settling down for a while after the exhaustion of climbing the ladder...

 

 

The funny thing was that Åsa was in the nestbox at the time laying an egg (or rather not laying an egg as she had a day off yesterday so laid her egg first thing, but she's clearly forgotten that as she kept going in the nestbox to lay.....not the brightest chicken in the coop....) - anyway, she saw Charlotta there and shouted her head off for ages before I went to give her a talking to (she doesn't like to be disturbed when she's laying and if the nestbox is engaged when she wants it, she creates such a fuss)

She looks very comfortable up there!

I love the third picture. She looks quite at home.

Hi

I think your charlotta is very like my bluebelle!(I probably have her sister)??Quite big bird but very inquisitive. Glad urs are doing well, my northendhens are really great and are getting on fine with the 2 ..speckledy i have is a bit squittish but getting there slowly.

Ur Cube looks good too..I started with one sitting in the doorway and now they all tried yesterday to sit in the doorway...

Glad to see they are all well and very happy in their new home..nice pics..must post some more myself inside the run...just need a nice relaxing bench to sit on now

No eggs as yet, Pia the coral nick is the most developed so I think she'll be first. I reckon they are possibly a month away from laying, but are so big already! They are out and about in the whole garden for the first time today and are exploring all the flowerbeds. They come near me now when I'm out in the garden, but don't want to be picked up as yet, once they start crouching it'll be easier.

 

Can't wait to see photos of yours!

Ahh lovely photos - I guess they wanted to know if the grass is greener......
