Flock integration seems to have went well...........

[Snadger]

Three of my flocks have been integrated by cutting little trapdoors between the runs so they are all together now.
This has included one 'oldie' faverolle cockerel, one fully mature LS cockerel and four young cockerels and 12 mixed aged hens.

Very little squabbling. Just wondering whether I can get away with integrating my other mature LS cockerel and his harim of four ladies?

Sid, the silver sussex cockerel, I'm afraid, will always have to stay seperated as he's got a bad attitude (evil git!). He's got five ladies to keep him company though.

with that many cockerels you really like to live dangerously?its like soldiers,there are brave soldiers,there are old soldiers,just very few old brave soldiers..may the force be with you.......

I like the sound of Sid! He sounds like our George, who is a miserable buff orpington. then we have Rhubarb a gold silkie boy who is a scaredy cat! We also have pippin the brave gold partridge pekin, perseus the snobby show bred silver laced wyandotte bantam whom George hates with a vengeance. last but not least a young light sussex cockerel called Gandalf 2 - very wise look on its face and it likes to stare at you, face to face! That makes 5. by the way - pippin the pekin beat George up once - so he isn't that tough!

I hatched Sid myself and he's always been a terror..........even when as a junior I thought he was a hen! He's huge, attacks me even when i'm bribing him with food, or anyone who goes near him and the more you try to fend him off the more he keeps comng at you either with his spurs or his beak........he's not fussy!
I take a cane in with me now and its like being a lion tamer.................he even attacks the cane now, worrying it like a dog!

Still wouldn't swap him for the earth though!

no, i love our George too - simply for his determination- also he taught our german shepherd puppy how to respect chickens!

Once made the mistake of going into Sids domain with shorts on!

Never seen his eyes light up like that before.................
