Only 7 sleeps till I go collect 2 more exbatts from BHWT Perth - Going to decant the G'Pigs out the eglu, so they won't be happy - but hoping for some feisty girls and hopefully all in the one cube by the end of August and the G'Pigs can go back outside for the last of the summer.

 

Letting my mum call one glittery hen and I think I will name the other one this time - but what? - we currently have 'Brave Hen' 'Flower Flower' and Vera

 

I find it quite like having children - you don't want to name them till you see them? Or is that a mad chickenowner going a step too far?

Glittery hen -how glamorous! I like Flower Flower too! They just somehow suit their names when you see them, don't they? Good luck for Sunday hope all goes well and the Guinea pigs are not too put out! (lots of special treats to keep them happy!) Let us know how it goes

Erm, well you know how it goes, came home with three lovely ladiez - one very poorly and oven ready. Other two not too bad. They seemed better fed than the last lot - but all had horrendous toes and poorly chicken is missing a few

 

Have had to introduce the 2 strongest ex batts to the existing flock yesterday - which went well - they have been talking through the fence at each other only since Sunday, but not fighting so that's a relief.

 

I have to keep 'poorly' chicken on he rown in the eglu as the other two exbatts wouldn't let her feed or drink and just constantly pecked her - never seen anything like it.

 

she is a timorous wee beastie indeed and I think will be bottom of the pecking order - so want to get her fully feathered and happy before she is introduced.

 

So I have 5 free ranging and using cube and poorly in the eglu where they can all see her but not attack her.

 

Any other solutions out there ?

 

Will post picks at the weekend.
