Lucy And Ethel

[Barb Root Hinkkanen]

Hi, everyone! I am new to this site. I have one RIR, Lucy, by way of my son who moved into an apartment. Today we are driving 36 miles to pick up Ethel, a blue/black Americauna. After their introduction time I am sure they will be great friends!

Give them time to get used to one another, this will be a change for both of them.

Best of luck, thanks for joining us!

The two hens will not be thrilled at first sight. You will probably have to introduce them via the "Look but don't touch," integration method (search box will probably bring it up for you.

Welcome to BYC! I love the names of your girls! I had a Lucy and an Ethel in my first flock. Did you think of the "I Love Lucy" show by any chance?

G’Day from down under Barb Root Hinkkanen Welcome!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group. There is one on integration which you might find helpful.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of Lucy and Ethel, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
