cluckingmad Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Well, they may be dinky, but our little ladies have definatey made their mark! Today, LuLu the white pekin had Morticia the pied sussex in the hen version of a headlock...! Its their first night in the WIR with the established girls, eglu and cube cleaned and ready for the usual amusement as the girls choose where to sleep, Poppy (lemon cukoo pekin) was sitting on top of the cube while Esther (exchequer leghorn) tried to push herself as close to the mesh as possible while being outstared by said Poppy, when I popped out to check all was calm, 5 out of 7 big hens were roosting on the shelf in the WIR, Poppy and LuLu were in the eglu and I guess Wembly (black frizzle pekin), lilly (light sussex), suzie (sultan) and celia (silver pencilled pekin) are in the cube.. At least Ticia (short for Morticia, pied sussex), Dixy (columbian blacktail) and Bella (spekledy) are chilled in their eglu classic away fom the bedlam!! I sense an extension to the WIR coming on...
