New chooks.....

Off to get me 4 more chooks tommorrow...
Only had three eggs for the last couple of days so need more supplies...
I've already chose thier names.....Violet,Daisy....with respect and i hope you don't mind Zig...Poppy and Willow....just love those names....
Looking forward to settling them in....There's bound to be a drama so will keep you posted:WINK1:

 

Wow, thats an honour

 

Unfortunately Zig is the first one to have his neck wrung Crimbo 2012 as a game cockerell he refused to lay

After alot of shouting from my oldie chook May the new girls seem to be settling in ....not too much arguing but ofcourse it's very early days.....One of the newbies is quite cheeky....Poppy...she keeps trying to take on the oldies but soon gets told off...she went to bed first.....Daisy,Willow and violet had to be put to bed....don't think they could stand Mays screaming....all quietly pottering in the run this morning...i'll let them out soon.....just giving Mr Fox a chance to get home from his night out

 

Glad it went well Lolimac,I still am not able to watch when introducing newbies,they can be so vicious.
I usually double up on food and water containers to give the newcomers a chance and after keeping the newbies quarantined for a couple of weeks introduce them last thing as they are going to roost.

 

All the girls tucked in...had to put the new girls in myself as they were queing up on the ramp waiting to get in but old May wouldn't let them....don't know who i feel sorry for the most...old May as i've upset her routine or the new girls for putting them through the trauma of the 3 wicked witches....Still so far so good...

 

Mrs Scrungee lightly folded some newspaper at bedtime around an 'oldie' who was being difficult with 'newbies' had to be placed on an end of the perch rail - until they soon became the best of friends. Might sound a bit whacky but it worked.

 

Do you mean like a curtain so she couldn't see the others Scrungee ?

 

Recon thats a wind up John

 

I thought it was Zig but i've just googled it ....i still can't believe it

 

I googled it for a second time John incase i'd read it wrong....does say they are illegal now....wonder if they were buy one get one free

 

Blimey.

poppie is asking for pictures of the chickens.
