Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

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

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.

It is not instant friendship with chickens but it does come with time. They will eventually preen and dust bathe together as well. You will be so happy when you see it happen.

SHRA!!

They are so much better than at integration so that’s a plus. Now with Bok it’s just treat foods she can get shirty with them.
The fact they are all roosting together without much drama is a big positive to me

I was right!

Me too!! But I had to look hard before I could see her.
