Hi everyone we got two araucana hens yesterday the lighter one is peep and darker one is called sweep we decided to buy some hens instead of growing up roosters. We've got them separate in their quarantine pen they are quite shy and flighty compared to our other birds.

Thankyou for such a warm welcome, if anyone can give advice on my light sussex lilly, I put a post on the sussex thread in the breed section thankyou

Hi there, this is lilly our light sussex pullet of 18wks, I am worried about her stance she seems to carry herself low. Her tail doesn't sit like our other chickens, she seems happy herself but we are new to raising chickens is it of any concern? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks everyone, I'm already learning so much
