Today when I mixed the girls the new girls got much closer to the rest of the flock. The rest of the flock took no notice of them.
Silver discovered one of the ladders today. Several times she went up to the top of the ladder and also on to the branch perch above the ladder. Silver is definitely the adventurous one.
I am very pleased with how it’s going. Yesterday Ginger and Silver kept away from the rest of the flock most of the time, often being at the other end of the run from them.
Today they have got much closer to them and the main flock haven’t taken any notice of them. They all seem to be getting used to each other. It’s great progress.

What a wonderful integration – it’s huge strides, not tiny steps! The photos reflect exactly what you say in the blog.
Today I left them together for the full day as there has been no chasing at all and the new girls are now settling much closer to the main flock. Both girls have discovered the other ladder and branch perch. I took some photos and will put them on my next post.
Such pretty girls.
They are very pretty.
Comment in relation to next post, where I’m producing spam again. 🙂
All seems to be going so well – and they are real beauties. Fingers crossed that they develop into winter egg layers. Hardly any eggs here – Autumn seems to have descended so suddenly.
They are beauties. I am hoping for winter eggs from these two. Twice now when I have picked Ginger up she has squatted and yet there is very little comb on either girl. It does feel very much like autumn is just round the corner.
