xsoggyx Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Firstly hello all. After months of begging, my wife allowed me to get our girls which arrived less than 24 hours ago. Question. I understand there is a pecking order (like me and the Mrs) but how long should this take before they settle in? We have only 2 Girls but they are getting very "Ooops, word censored!"y. I have seen they are both eating but was just concerned. Appologies for being a newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 welcome xsoggyx! It probably won't take too long to sort out the pecking order if they're both new together. I think its harder - and longer - when you come to introduce subsequent newbies to an established flock in an established place. I think our first two did it almost inperceptibly, so I don't know how long it took. When we introduced the 2 newbies to one of the old couple it took about 2 weeks, but the issue was between the old and the new: the two new ones just buddied up together!
