The gang of six has arrived!
Did I tell you the details? I posted in a local chicken group that I was looking for 2-3 girls, breed not important. Anna replied that she had six 3-year old girls (her entire flock) to re-home and she'd give them to me. Now three years old is a bit past their "prime" but still plenty young to be with us for a while. So I happily said OK!
They arrived on Friday and are segregated from our hellions in the same area Stevie was recently in. That's why I had to wait for Stevie to be integrated before I could pick up the newbies. Anyway, of course, the girls were stressed for the first couple of days.
Here they huddled in a corner when I entered the coop.
In the last two days they have calmed a bit and don't cower when either Rick or I enter. But we're waiting a few days to fully integrate them -- the thought of trying to corral them after free range time is a bit scary.
I must say Sharone is very interested and talks to them frequently.
I'm still working on names so if you have any suggestions, toss them out.
