TSC swap was fun!! 2 new girls!

[Yvonne1]

Sooooo........what does a gal to do on a lazy Saturday morning? Hit the animal swap at TSC!!
I was in the mood for some babies to add to my 4 six month old sex links (who have YET to lay me an egg!!). They are friendly enough but aren't "cuddly".
Found these 2 cuties (who are supposed to be girls) and couldn't resist!! They were even going to come with a free older boyfriend, but I declined. Bantam D'uccles.
Now....to give them some names. I will see what kind of personalities they have first!
Hubby will be getting home in about 30 mins....he doesn't know yet!
This one is a shade darker than the other one below.

They are so small! About the size of my coffee mug!
I am smitten!

They are beautiful

If you haven't integrated newbies before, do research it - there's a current thread about how to.

I worked for weeks to get the 'babies' as I call them integrated and accepted by the 'big girls' but 1 has it out for them. It's non-stop chasing and pecking by her.

Then maybe another joins in. Not working. So, we decided to change the tractor (that we never really used anyway) to a new, smaller run & coop for the Bantams. It will work out. The D'uccles are good with small spaces and they LOVE being outside. Such sweeties.

Ample space and multiple feeders and waters go a long way in reducing territorial aggression.
