mollyripkim Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Been keeping the new girls in a separate run and divided cube house for bedtime but my oldies didn't seem to acknowledge they were there. So over the weekend I did some supervised FR, only one squaring up - from Henrietta of course - but new girl held her own. Holly and Ivy are settling In well, they have had a lot of change what with being sent back to the breeder, quaranteened and then to me so they are a little bit nervous still but eating and drinking fine. Anyway tonight I decided to be brave and remove the divider, had to lift the new girls in as they havent got the hang of the ladder yet BUT I have just been out to check and all 9 are snuggled up together So sweet. Hope this isn't the calm before the storm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan08 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Glad to hear it is all going well. After disastrous intro last year, before I really knew what to expect, I am feeling much more confident this time around. They are a worry arnt they, they don't like being alone, but are so horrid before they make friends. Keep us updated, it's always reassuring to know how others are getting on.

mollyripkim Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 I know it's awful isnt it, they do make things difficult for themselves usually. I wonder if bantams are easier for intros than the big girls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackian Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Me too..My girls are seperate in 2 WIRs close together , the screaming has stopped and while they are seperate they are fine ignoring each other most of the time....2 weeks in and they were let out (new girls first ) and then the "oldies" ..fine while the mealworms were scattered and then my Lovely oldie Poppy who is an angel let rip .Oh my word ,she went for little Rose and so that was it .Poppy was put on the noughty step I think it was too soon so now they are being let out an hour at a time each . We ahve a sliding door between the 2 WIRs ..not sliding yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I keep putting my intros off, The youngsters are now in the big run and cube, Fran and Betty are in the classic at the moment. Fran can be a evil so and so and will even have a go at me, Betty can be bossy but came to use with a trimmed beak so she can't do any damage. I am dreading it!
