We have a little raised patch in the middle of the back yard. Guess where everyone congregated when the rain eased off a little?

The very fat black hen on the left isn't all Edwina. That's Pepper poking out behind her.

Everything is so vibrantly green! I'm glad that the rain has let up a bit...looks like your girls are very happy!

It's like a chicken platform and they look beautiful up there.

Look where my littlest girls managed to roost!

Oh no, it was just taking a breather. It's pelting down again now!

Good evening folks

I was confused by your comment and then I looked at the photo again.
The wood you can see in the foreground is actually the back of the garden seat attached to the pergola. It's what they usually perch on when they are watching me through the window.

The Vorwerks are out & about.
It has not gone well.

My tribe does not like Vorwerks.

Everyone's had a go @ them except Olivia ~ who doesn't need to because I am her person & she knows I'll look out for her. Gloriana tried it on twice & lost twice. Titania tried twice, lost the 1st & was never going to lose the 2nd.

The Silver Campines & Patricia have been vicious. *sigh*​

This was bound to happen. The bottom of the established order was not going to be pushed further down by the newcomers without at least try to set dominance. I would have been surprised if it had not happened. The Vorwerks are full grown and hence bigger threats to the established order.

It will be distressing as they work it out but they have to work it out.

Ceres & Desdemona having some outdoor time while I put up orchids.
Ceres was soooo happy she was trilling & burbling & purring away!
Time was limited as they started wandering & both have scabby eyes. Still, better than nothing @ all.​

It is good to give them some time out. Great job. How long has Ceres been separated from the tribe?

 

[BY Bob]

Yep. Not sure what it is. They didn't like the other 2 either. No issues with any of the other breeds I've got but for some reason the Vorwerks get up their collective nose. This lot are big girls & close to POL so that may have something to do with it.

Them being closer to POL does make a difference. They are more of a threat.
