I've only ever really done POLs & even the Campines have gentled with time & patience. The Belgians are just minusculeAnd I'm terrified of them.
It's got something in it that aids the liver. Hang on, I'll dig out Dr Mark's notes.Remind me again of the benefit of cheese for fatty liver?
Once I've managed to grab them I think we're all calmer. My older bantys came as POLs & they are huge by comparison.Don't be afraid to handle them...it will help them to warm up to you so much faster! We always had Banty's until this year, they are tiny, but tough enough!
For clarity, two cups of pellets with two pinches of cheese. So that's half a pinch per hen per dinner. For a treat, one strand of grated cheese.It's got something in it that aids the liver. Hang on, I'll dig out Dr Mark's notes.

Methionine.
Well, I guess that means they are available for my next additions.That can be arranged. Just tell me when so I can meet your boat.
They're great names but no~one wanted them. I tried out both Viola & Cordelia & noses turned up all over the place.
I think someone needs a standard for Mistress Quickly.Well, I guess that means they are available for my next additions.
Did no-one want Mistress Quickly?

Taking @drstratton 's advice I took time this afternoon to handle several of my new girls.

And this is why they have to be able to be handled. Little cuddle puddles all over the pen as the sun went down. I had to hoy everyone into the coop. I will open the door a bit later on as 1/2 the nutters headed straight back out. The coop is much safer than the run.
