New girls have arrived.

Post by jackian »

My new girls arrived this morning to join Poppy and Clover, They are in seperate Walk-in-Run and Poppy and clover are FR but making a heck of a racket (which is unusual )although ignoring the new girls.They did size up to each other at one stage against the fence but are really ignoring them .It is just the noise ! Is this usual ?

My first four were so noisy when I introduced three new girls the year before last. It was a keening noise that went on and on for a couple of days. Last year they didn't really do it when I introduced the next three. Perhaps they were over the shock by then. :-D

It's a good job you can't talk chicken! Your girls may shock you with their language {warn}
