sugarspice Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 hey. they are in the same walk in run i made but seperated. they seem very small against the older 1s. they are roosting on branches in the run. we are going to get a cube shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarspice Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 they are approx 18 weeks old. this is the 2nd time i have added 2 hens. i learned the hard way last time so tey will be seperated from the others for at least 10 days so they can see each othe. i have also fitted the older hens with bumber bits so they cant harm the newbies too much. we have a feather plucking issue with at leat 2 of them so the bits are great for stopping that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
