I have wanted to add new girls since losing Pebbles but have had to wait and be patient. \u00a0Firstly I needed to let six weeks pass to make sure the flock was in good health. It then wouldn’t have been fair to add more seramas during the dreadful frosty weather that we have had recently.<\/p>\n

The weather improved but we had a busy social weekend so I put it off for another week. Finally the time seems right and I called Dave the serama breeder. I was really nervous because I have waited so long for this and he was talking of the possibility of giving up breeding, due to lack of time, when we last saw him.<\/p>\n

I took the plunge and called him yesterday and he said that he had downsized but still had plenty of hens for sale. He said that they are aged from six months upwards. This is really good for me because now that I have a few girls laying it would mean that I could integrate them as quickly as possible. They could all have layers pellets whereas younger chicks would need growers pellets and have to stay separated until old enough to move on to layers.<\/p>\n

Dave works shifts and is not available during this week so the earliest we can go to him is Saturday morning. We have arranged to get to him at eleven o’clock on Saturday. I am so excited.<\/p>\n

Girls, I am about to rock your world again. I think it will be really good for the little girls to belong to a bigger group but of course they may not see it like that at first. I think the bigger girls will take the newcomers in their stride but it will interesting to see what the little girls make of new girls.<\/p>\n

At the moment the bedtime routine is super smooth. The little girls, as good as gold, go to to their own little perch with Rusty always next to the door and the bigger girls go to their higher perch. The order is always the same with top girl Emerald going in first in her favourite position next to the wall and Peaches and Barley together followed by Speckles, sometimes next to them, sometimes at the other end of the perch. Tonight is a typical evening line up.<\/p>\n

There are no longer the aggravations that there used to be. It runs like clockwork with all the girls used to going to their own spot. How will that work with new girls? I am sure it is going to shake up the routine.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to have new girls and I think the flock will be richer and better balanced with more little girls but these two little girls have been used to no competition. I wonder how easily they will take to newcomers. Only time will tell!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
