Americuana x

[Thomas Yabsley]

I have 2 new americuana x naked kneck in my flock. They spend most of their day hiding in my neighbours bush. I don't know if this is because they are scared of the dogs or if this is normal behaviour. They are still being bullied by a few of the other hens

They're scared of the dogs & being bullied. Have you 'introduced' them to your flock using the "See but no touch" method? What are their living conditions ... Are they cooped or caged? Free ranged?

They are free range. Kept them isolated for 21 days. It's more Only one of the hens still bullying rhem. The dogs aren't bothered by them but they leg it when they see the dogs

You answered your question, it's the dogs. Probably new to them.

Ok wasn't sure if it was the norm to the breed they seem to squeeze through a tiny gap in the fence and climb the branches and sit on the top of the bush. They will get used to the dogs
