Getting our new cockerel and additional pullets

[niazai_thechickenlife]

Pushpa was being a bully towards the 2 pullets, to the point where they could barely eat or drink and were constantly hiding. So he’s outside with our other 4 girls. Let’s see how that goes.
Rahul is great with the 2 pullets so the 3 of them can stay inside a bit longer.

He’s been so good today!
Still showing them that he wants to be boss, but they’re either not letting him or they leave him alone and I think he’s realised being alone isn’t all that. So they’ve been roaming closer together today. Hope this will work out.

The other 3 had the chance to go outside today for a few hours but they were literally sitting in front of the door like: no lady. Just no.

Sounds like great progress to me! Lol the other 3 will get more comfortable with time, I'm sure.

I was giving my flock fermented grains late every afternoon and greens a few times a week. I started to feel like they were holding out for "the good stuff" and not eating as much crumble as they should. Now I'm only giving fermented grains one day a week on the weekends, and I'll toss greens in the run then too. They weren't happy at first, lol. But they've adjusted.
