martha has coped very well with her new friends and this is the first time i have done intros and i dont nave the space for seperating them so we let martha free range whilst we put the 3 new hens in the WIR and then introduce her to them she walked around allot and made some noise there has been a couple of little incidents nothing bad though and when they free range together there is the odd chase round but the funny thing was the first night when i had to put them to bed because martha climbed up the ladder and blocked the entrance door to the eglu like a doorman on a nightclub the statement being this is my home my bed and youre not coming in
