The new girls have settled in really well. Last night was a test and they passed. They put themselves to bed again. We went out and got back at eight o’clock. I checked the girls and the main flock were in their shed and the new girls were snuggled up in their little coop. I closed the ramp.<\/p>\n

This morning when I opened the ramp to the little coop the new girls came out straight away and went straight to the food dish.<\/p>\n

They have already got the hang of the treats. When I went in mid morning with the spinach the new girls looked interested. I gave them some spinach and they pecked at it straight away.<\/p>\n

They are so cute<\/p><\/div>\n

This morning Speckles and Caramel raised their ruffs at each other through the wire. It’s always the bottom girls that do this. It was very short lived though. It seemed to be a half hearted show to each other and was over in moments. There was no pecking which is a good sign. There is a double layer of wire so they can’t peck each other but it’s good to see that they weren’t trying to.<\/p>\n

This afternoon Caramel was perched on the top of the hatch that separates this part of the run. It was the first time I had seen either girl off the ground. By the time I grabbed my camera she had jumped down but then Pebbles flew up to the top of the little coop.<\/p>\n

We have now put a little perch by the hatch but lower down. We will also put in a lower perch in the main chicken shed as I think the existing perches will be too high for these little girls.<\/p>\n

And not to forget the rest of the flock.<\/p>\n

This perch seems to be the latest preferred spot to sit together. My flock of five and flock of two all seem happy in their own areas. I wonder how soon I should dare to start mixing them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
