Cree:
We put little isabelle man in a 40 x 80 run with 2 isabelle pullets (8 months old). It did not go well for him. We had to seperate them after about 15 mins

They beat the tar outta him, didn't they?

Might wanna try putting him in one of those big wire dog kennel/cages in the run to intro them... or fence off a corner for him...

My older girls always teach the younger boys manners... usually they don't do any real damage though...

Hope he's ok...

He is fine.
We were watching.

He is not ready for ladies yet.
They squatted for him. He hid in the corner.
They bit him. He hid in a nest box. He needs a couple months imho.

We seperated him for now.

I shipped my eggs that couldnt fit in my bator to @Alaskan today in Homer AK.
The TN eggs will have traveled over 5000 miles to get there.

He'll figure it out...

I cant chance leaving him in there now

Oh, I agree... give him time to get used to his new home and gain a little confidence...

He has only been in the grow out pen with his brothers. He will get it. At least they were willing.

I am excited to hear how they do! I think he will like the dark brown leghorns.

Donna I am so pleased with the Sapphire, Tizzy. She has given me an egg almost every day now. I may have to change over to mostly Sapphires and SBELs . I love the every day egg. The Wyandotte Bantam roo is totally bessotted with her but he can't figure out how to line things up to breed her proper. I have put her with the Olive Eggers to his dismay.
