It takes a long time for chickens to adjust to new faces. Months and months. But if they have enough food and space they settle down eventually.They are and that’s why it’s sad for me when they do pecking order stuff.
I feel so sorry for Bokky, she pecks at them of course when scratch/food other than theirs is around but sometimes she gets close to them and wants to preen together or something and they run off with memories of her attitude
I love seeing the 3 of them snuggled, it’s rare I catch it but I know it happens!
3 nights in a row now when ive shut their door they have been roosted together, no one in the nesting boxes and it makes my heart so full
As my Italian Grandmother always said “whatza matter you?”
