Did you just put them straight n with the old ones or did you keep them separate but in view so they could see eachother for a wee while first? Usually I introduce chicks with their mums so it's no bother at all, but these silly mums left the babies to go and roost up the tree so this is new territory for me. We shall see! I'll keep you posted on that one!Laura @ Our Wee Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240391312194055909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-15541849977120336622011-02-18T19:48:13.410+13:002011-02-18T19:48:13.410+13:00How funny!

What a beautiful coop you have (like you said, that nobody uses - lol). I've just recently introduced 3 new hens to my existing flock of nine and the transition has been, shall we say, a bit rough? Do you think you'll have any problem with the two new chicks integrating with your other hens?Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-5060106104837629222011-02-14T04:07:26.896+13:002011-02-14T04:07:26.896+13:00Oh how I love ducks!
