All together now!

I got my Silkies in January and they have free ranged with my original hybrids for a long while. Sometimes the situation is more harmonious than others :roll: However I have not managed to get them to share the same eglu. I did try once and then one of my hybrids became ill and I went back to using two eglus. On Tuesday I cleaned out both the eglus and was really fed up with the situation (probably not helped by it aggravating my bad back). Anyway I decided to let them have one eglu to share and surprisingly once it was dark they were all in there quite happy. There had been a bit of pushing and shoving leading up to darkness but they seemed fine and have survived two nights now with no injuries. The Silkies still get bossed about a bit but it has actually worked positively as Estelle was starting to be a bit broody but the hybrids got her out the nest box so that one of them could lay so all's well :dance:
