Chickabee Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I did this recently, but my girls have always been in runs next to each other and have free ranged together. I've been told to put mite powder on them all to make them smell the same, guess it's the same thing. There was a bit of pecking and a little bullying to start with, but they're over that now. Other than one of my araucanas, who's like a moody mare Btw getting a cube was the best thing I've done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickabee Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I had to convert my ladder, my little ones couldn't get the hang of it I covered it with some mesh and a fake grass mat. All fastened with cable ties, then put a log at the bottom for them to climb on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
