quickcluck Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Luckily that's my OH's job and they are up by 6.30am I've a sneaky feeling that they'll make straight for the safety of their own pen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickcluck Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 When he went to get them up the two babies were standing in the nest box!! They were not looking stressed his says, so he whisked them out of the egg port - easier than shooing them all the way through and they toddled off to their own pen!!! Should we do the same tonight if they take themselves off seperately again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hens@HalfMoonLane Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I would do the same again. Over the last 2 weeks I intergrated my 2 new BHWT girls with one older hen. The first night I lifted both in through the egg port where the existing hen was already asleep. All was peaceful and quiet until I went to bed. Made sure I got up extra early The second night one went in, the other had to be helped in. Third night as second. 4th onwards they all go in happily and are now best of friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Molly has gone to bed on her own again.. I am sad for her.... will wait to they've been there for a bit and put her in again. She is younger than the others, but I can't leave her on her own....... or discourage Princess from being with the big girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
