welshnik Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Oh no, we can't incubate etc, we leave that to hubby's sis who is home most days and so has the dedication for it. Besides, we have our first human chook to incubate first.......due in July.........! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poachedegg Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We're on our 4th lot of introductions and whilst all have gone without problem, the last 2 times as we have separate accomodation we have used the 'divide and conquer' method which works really well - still some pecking but nothing major. We had the 3 newbies (ex batts) in the and the others in the - after a few days freeranging together we put the 3 newbies in the with 7 others and then 3 left over in the . Every day after that we changed everybody around to confuse them a little, but always kept the newbies in the ....we started Monday and are pretty much there now already, though the newbies do have plenty of places to jump to if necessary and have put in extra water, food and 'hentertainment'.
