Henslaved Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It all seemed to be going ok Everyone was minding their own and then I had the camera set to sport setting, it all happened so fast. Needless to say I swiftly put the camera down and picked up the water pistol, that didn't deter them so in the end I had to wade in and step between them. Muppet (the gold laced) came away with a few scratches and a higher ranking in the pecking order , she was previously bottom. Ugh I hate intros .

Cheeky Chooky Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I know it's not nice to see chooks having a bit of 'argy bargy' but those photographs are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henslaved Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 I know it's not nice to see chooks having a bit of 'argy bargy' but those photographs are great! Thank you . It's not nice to watch, especially when their your own . Thankfully things have settled down a little now, with only minor pecks and chases . Be a while before I let them sleep together. I don't know who finds it more stressful me or the girls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 She was mortally offended that I'd brought that white thing into her garden . Lulu was totally unimpressed . @ surfer_chicken. It does look like that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henslaved Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 They have all been mingling in the same run for a few weeks now with no problems, but still choosing to sleep in their separate quarters............................until tonight . It was Pudding who made the decision that she wanted to sleep with the oldies (wouldn't mind but she is suffering crop issues at the moment ) Treacle was a little unsure, but in the end decided she didn't want to be alone .Don't know if it will last though, there was quite a bit of argy bargy and head pecking and poor old Pudding copped for it in the eye from Muppet (naughty girl ).

Chortle Chook Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I like the barred chooks who in both pictures seem intent on 'not noticing what the neighbours get up to' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henslaved Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Doing well overall though Thanks, I have taken things slowly and let the girls decide when they want to be friends. Top chook Rosie has surprised me though as she is very tolerant of the newbies and will even share a corn cob with them, until she gives them the eye I like the barred chooks who in both pictures seem intent on 'not noticing what the neighbours get up to' Yeah! That'll be Pudding, any signs of violence and she wanders off and whistles to herself, unless it's aimed at her, then she's off like a shot .
