Extended the family

Can't keep it to myself. Too excited. Browsing the freecycle last night, saw 2 hens that needed homing in Haverhill. Replied immediately and I got them! A Gingernut Ranger and a Mrs Pepperpot named Chucky and Shelly respectively. A reluctant rehoming due to miseryguts neighbours but I have promised to look after them. Got them in a little separate run for a couple of days, but will let them mingle with the other girls in a day or so.

Make the introductions at night when it's dark. The next morning, the old chooks won't realise the flock is a bit bigger than the day before. It's always worked for us.

Thats the plan, was going to let them suss each other out with the safety measure of the small run so that when I do put them together (plan to do it just after dark tomorrow) not too many feathers fly.

Best of luck! Let us know how it goes.
