Sadly we lost a couple of chickens (due to illness) and so have increased our flock by 3 sixteen week old girls. Why 3? Safety in numbers! We knew 2 remaining residents would show their darker sides and they have lived up to expectations! Their thuggish and vindictive behaviour to the new youngsters was serious enough for them to be separated by some chestnut palings for a few days. That way, they could look at each other and become a little accustomed before being put in together. They have had 6 days acclimatisation and have been allowed to mingle today. Hopefully, there will be no nonsense at roosting time! All are hybrids and Henny Penny is a Copper Maran, Fiona a Fenton and Cicely is a White Sussex. The remaining villians are Marigold and Winifred.

Anyway, They've just been inspected and all are roosting quietly (for now!) in the House for Hens - their Medieval style pole house.
