Update !! Well, we've moved, chooks are happy- ish & settling down in their new home (& so are we!)
Just thought I'd come on to say thanks for the advice a few weeks back. (I asked about the best way of integrating an old 'pensioner' that I was asked to give a home to & how to do it & move & etc all at once!) well, the advice was keep her sectioned off but visible from the others until the move then put them all in together, it worked a treat! Yes, there's a little 'hen pecking' & she's very wary of them, but no more than to be expected.
I also asked about an electric fence, I think I've decided against it for now as I managed to buy a fantastic, fully enclosed run, made in sections, & in very good condition along with an egloo cube (still getting used to that!) from the website Preloved. So for the immediate future they're OK.
Next step - new young chooks !!! :lol:
