I was so happy that my girls saddles arrived today. I got 3 for the most bald bats. The others seem to be fluffing up quite nicely.
But I'm worried that they're too big... they don't lie flat on their backs. Still, I'm hopeful they'll be protected.
Less limping today, and unless you knew about the war wound I'm sure no one would notice from a cursory glance.
What living arrangements do people create when they separate Roos from girls? I've got a greenhouse, but was hoping it'd be a temporary home for an occasional visitor, rather than a more permanent roo-separation staycation !
I have fenced off about 30" square in the main run. Converted an apex into two room hen house, insulated against the cold nights we are having now. I used a fine mesh and doubled it over, as they tend to fight through the fence. This just stops any physical contact but allows them to interact and get use to each other.
I think I will wait until they have good feathers and are fit and strong before I allow them to join the others.
Im sure some of the more experienced members can give better advice.
