🐔 Chicken update! 🐔

I removed the mobile fence yesterday afternoon, and so far, everything is going as expected. The older hens are chasing the chickies, but since the young ones are so fast and agile, there haven't been any seriously dangerous situations. In the end, I decided to introduce Cleo to the mix straight away. While she did chase and peck at Henna too, it wasn't as persistent as before. I even caught them sitting and relaxing close together – something that hasn't happened in ages! I will still keep her separated at night though.

One of the #Amrock hens has already decided that the coop and henhouse are her safe haven. She's the only one who often goes in there (I don't think the others are even aware of the door yet), while the others stick to "their" side of the run. Earlier, I was frantically searching for her and worried she might have escaped over the fence, until I spotted her sitting under the ladder, buried in the sand like a flatfish – well out of reach from the despots. Clever girl!

JSFP539: HuSi ruft SOKO Huhn

We're back online, yay!

To celebrate, here's a 🐔 chicken update 🐔

We got our new hens yesterday! 🙌 We've added two #Amrock hens (the black-and-white ones), and two #BielefelderKennhuhn hens (#crele coloured with reddish heads). We've named them Frika, Billa, Rumi, and Bärbel. 🤭
In the second photo, Henna is eyeing them curiously. They should grow to roughly the same size as our #Faverolles (or Deutsches #Lachshuhn, as Henna and Cleo's breed is known in Germany)

Wish me luck introducing them to the rest next week!

- Egg-laying Jette pecking the others, asserting her dominance
- Old Henna and Cleo the Runt too weak and scared
- Separating Jette to let the others heal

🐔 It's been a while, so here's another #chicken update!

TL;DR
- Rehomed Jette to a bigger group down the street
- Cleo and Henna were both laying eggs, yay!
- Cleo finally grew up and started to attack Henna
- When we couldn't separate them last weekend, Cleo won the pecking war, and Henna ended up with a bloody comb. Neither of them has laid since, due to the stress.
- PLOT TWIST: We will add four new #hens on Saturday! Hopefully, this will ease the tension for the hens.

👉 More detailed ramblings in the comments.


Photos:
1. My darling Henna last Sunday. The black stuff on her comb is dried blood. I captured her mid-drink, that's why her neck is a bit wet.
2. Jette making first contact in her new group.
