sjp Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well I've took the plunge at 16:15 this afternoon(Friday 18/09/2009) I open the door in the great divide to let my 2 small flocks have access to each others runs so far so good all that's happened is they swaped runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 That's good news . That's kind of what happened when I removed my Great Divide (love that ) . Fingers crossed it stays calm for you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think they like being able to get to the "uncharted territory", mine were exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think they like being able to get to the "uncharted territory", mine were exactly the same they go into each other runs when they free range but from a differant way I only left the till 4:45 before I let them out but all seemed fine just got a bit snappy towards bed time but that seems to be par for the course but the rest of the time the big girls put up with the upstarts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 just got a bit snappy towards bed time but that seems to be par for the course Are you finding that a lot? I noticed tonight that Maisie was stalking the wee ones this evening and having a peck whenever she got close enough. It was almost dark and the other two were already in bed . I'm thinking sharing an eglu might not happen as soon as I'd planned . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjp Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Saturday :- well I've opened the great divide and left them to it so far it seem peacefull but that might be cause big red is 'working' and cyclone gets seperation issues when she's on her own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 well today is day 4 of my 5 girls sharing runs so far theres been no blood drawn and thr runs don't look like the aftermath of a fight in a feather pillow factory. the youngsters are allowed to stand next to the big girls has long as there's no treats on offer when they are out in the garden.and they're starting to stand up for themselves so fingers crossed I can think about putting them in the big girls house in a couple of weeks time for a sleep over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 We had an inadvertant sleepover last night . Poppy chose to go into the eglu, leaving Penny in the pet carrier . Perhaps she got an invite and Penny didn't . Popped Penny in the eglu too and all seemed well this morning. They don't know what the pet carrier is for though, it's causing great confusion .
