The bedtime routine is now sorted and easy. Gold has become totally used to me and follows my hands when I am clearing up and my boots as I move around. She almost follows me out of the dividing gate if I’m not careful. She also gets right up to the camera when I am taking photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storm doesn’t mind my hands at all and allows me to get close and to touch her but doesn’t follow my every move like Gold does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snowflake remains cautious and doesn’t like me to get close to her at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold and Storm will now peck at spinach from my fingers and they like to peck at my boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have given the new girls a little chopped tomato in one of the white dishes I use for treats and they love it. The first time they were flicking it out of the dish but they are now used to pecking it from the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s all going really well. Over the next few days I will open up the bottom part of the run for them and get them used to a bigger space. After that I will start putting all the girls together for a short time each day to get them used to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of April I will be able to mix the girls as the new girls will be old enough for layer pellets then. It will be good to have one flock again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
