I hope Bob has it right and it's a fracture rather than a break. Havig broken a few bones now you have my sympathy. Get well soon.

What's the difference?

They are gorgeous chickens (of course) but also their setting is delightful. I never tire of the steps and the big boulders. Wonderful.

Good morning folks

If you're seeing the orthopedic specialist on Thursday, can you ask them about your knee collapse? I'm worried about it happening again.

Yes, that is the plan. We are very worried about it as well.

What's the difference?

Technically the terms break & fracture are interchangeable. They mean a bone has been shattered. However out here a fracture quite often refers to a bone that has only a partial break. Even some professionals will make that distinction. Medically a break is a fracture & a fracture is a break.

I think you're right, when the older birds trust you, the younger ones follow their lead.

I have been really surprised by how accepting the Bigs are of the Littlies this time. When I've done POL there's always been a little bit of shuffling for position but I think @BY Bob is right & this new lot will just tag onto the bottom of the other lot. That works for me.

So easy to manage!

This morning I let the Little girls out 1st, then the big girls joined them.

No dramas really.
Glorianna had a small issue. She tried jumping on Sodas back, much to Sodas surprise but I think Gloriana had thought better of it before she even finished her jump because she scuttled away in a hurry!

The only one who seemed to be running into trouble was Regan & I think that's because she's the most mature & closest to POL.
A number of different hens had a go @ her but she was submissive & nothing came of any of the encounters.

This seems to be working well.
They had about an hour together then the Littlies retreated to their coop again.

I've found the more integrations you do, the easier it is, at least with my birds.

You think they get used to it? I mean Ned and Lucky slid right in. But Stanley was there as well. I'm sure he deserves some credit.

This is yesterday morning.

It's like I'm there. I love these little ones.
