brightonbelle Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I have 3 bantam ladies ... One arrived yesterday....she is believed to possibly be a Sablepoot(is that right lol) cross and is a pretty pale gold colour with interspersed black.... And today I picked up a lavender Araucana and a cute little partridge Pekin..So far they seem to be getting on fine...been in together for 3 and half hours and havent seen or heard any fights ...Is there a time after which I can relax and stop worrying? They have been in the nest area together so I am hoping after they have slept together tonight that will be the sign they a little flock . It is so nice to go out in the garden and hear them chatter away at me...I did miss that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 They sound lovely, congratulations . As they all arrived at virtually the same time, I shouldn't think you'll have any problems . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightonbelle Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thank you They are all fine this morning...keep hearing odd little shouting match but when I go and check no injuries. The only hiccup was last night. I went out to check they were all tucked up safely inside and found the Araucana sitting in the doorway..thats ok I thought..then realised she was actually sitting on the Sablepoot cross who had obviously tried to get in for the night and tried to squeeze past and got stuck.... I moved the Araucana and she managed to get inside properly..... It is interesting watching them adapt...the biggest is the Araucana and she is the gentlest to the other 2(apart from sitting on them of course) whilst the Pekin is the smallest and seems to be the bossiest.....when she deigns to leave the nest box that is! Its such fun getting to know them and trying to find names that suit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
