Porkypie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 We have now entered week 5 of introducing 1 to 2 and thanks to advice from this forum progress is being made. The door between the two pens has come down and although not one happy trio just yet they are becoming more tolerant and will share treats from the same bowl nicely (at least most of the time ) Still the odd peck but far from the murderous intentions they seemed to hold a couple of weeks ago for her. May this all continue in the right direction I had imagined that when they establish their pecking order that the pecking would be a two-way thing. Does this mean that Jemima (the newbie) will be the bottom chuck? She hasn't once tried to peck back. Is this usual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yes....it is. Inevitably a top hen will emerge and the others decide where they fit in the pecking order. Sounds as if you are making progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
