sootem Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I am the very proud mummy hen of the new girls pictured below. Today is the day I let them free range with my six old ladies! Wish me luck and hope their isn't a blood bath! I can't believe their different personalities - Susanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Oooo good luck I'm sure they'll be fine. I let my lot free range together yesterday. The newbies have only been here since Wednesday afternoon but they all pootled around the garden quite happily, although they stayed at different ends! Lovely girls by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 What lovely girls . Is the third one down a Cuckoo Maran? She looks similar to my new girl (of 2 days!) Polly . How long have you kept them separate? I'll be very interested to hear how it goes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 What lovely girls ANH, cuckoo marans look like this... I think hers is a blue maran, like a bluebelle etc. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootem Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Mine is a Blue Maran - we call her Scooter because she scoots around everywhere! What colour eggs do Blue Marans lay? Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootem Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have kept them separate for two weeks - but they have been able to see each other through the fence! World War 3 broke out when I first brought them home - so we will see. I'm glad I did keep them separated because one of the girls (not pictured) a columbine called Dotty got a respiratory infection - ok now and "Ooops, word censored!"ody else got it. Mine is a blue maran - can anybody tell me what colour eggs she will lay? Fingers crossed for a good integration! Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sootem Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well it's now nearly 5pm and the girls seem to have been ok except for a few scuffles! The old ladies just keep chasing them and they run away! So far no bloodbath! Susanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
