percy049 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Today, we got some more hens today, a Rhode Rock and a Suffolk Pied (no names yet). We wanted to get some more soon before our old new girls got too settled in, so the introductions were easier. The new ones are about 18 weeks, but the rhode rock is being quite pecky (I think she's a bit older [bigger wattles!]). We've had our old new girls for about 4 weeks, and they're acting like they've always known eachother (so it might be like the intros before, but 3 V 2 ) I'm wondering how much more mess they'll be with 5 and the cost of food! I will have to try and take some better photos later. We had a little accident with the violet spray.... it went everywhere! (including my mums face!)

Sammiboo Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I've gone from 2 - 4 - 6 hens! I've notice the increase in mess i can seer masterplan of moving the eglu around the lawn everyweek to save it may be a lost cause... Slight increase in food but nothing that concerns me!
