    Pecking order, introducing new hens

    They have 500 sq metres, split into 4 areas, they free range in separate area's all day, and then get locked into separate coops overnight, it's only when they come into the 1 area on their way to the coops that the trouble starts, ie when they are in the same area. x

    Pecking order, introducing new hens

    Home to Roost?

    I have 4 ex batts, they sleep in their nest boxes despite having perches, I am assuming they don't know they are supposed to perch because they were denied their basic behavioural instincts whilst in "Prison" but now they are "Free" can they be trained, or are they too old to learn new tricks...

    Newby!

    Thanks, Since you mention it, Henrietta is definitely more dominant than Harriet, Henrietta keeps pecking Harriet's bald patch, today Harriet has a runny (clear) nose. I have put some Cider Vinegar in the water, as it has been recommended for times of stress, I hope I am worrying over nothing !
