Loners

[Bebe Brett]

My eight RIRs are now two months, doing well, healthy and smart. One little girl is always on her own. When the others are in, she is out, when they are out,she is in. They don't bother her or peck at her, and occasionaly she goes in with the flock, but mostly not. Is this normal for some birds?

I have a couple of loners in my flock. They will fly out of their open pen and just hang out by themselves in the yard.

My last girls were hatched May 15 2003, the first egg arrived Oct 15. It was like a marble, I got two like that, then all were normal. Boy! Those hens could lay! In no time they were jumbo size.
