Well my experiment seems to be working. The younger girls are leaving the hay in the nest box and my new girl got right to work laying eggs. 3 eggs in 4 days so it doesn't look like she was stressed too much joining my "flock". I guess it was the rooster throwing the nest out. The girls seem more docile now that he is gone. I can sit down and they will come right up to me and even climb on me.
Sharol/CarolAnn: Hope you get over your back problems soon! I dealt with that for a year and needed two surgeries. Doing great now!
