Hi everyone
I posted on here a couple of weeks ago as one of my girls had turned out to be a boy so we re homed him with a girl as a pair and got two more arucanas who were about 7 months old and supposedly had been laying.
They were really aggressive for the first few days with the other girls but things are now much better and they just ignore the other girls (I have four sussex at 25 weeks old).
Two things, they always sit on a different perch in the run to the others and, in the garden seem to stay on their own in a different part than the other girls are, will they ever act a group and stay together?

By keeping apart and not fighting, in many ways they are already acting as a group.

When I introduced my new girls at the begining of the year the same happend.
It took a couple of months for them to join forces so to speak and now they're happy doing what hens do best, eating, scratchin & pooping.
They still go into groups but thats what they do, they have best friends just like us :D

Hi
thanks for the replys, I feel so much better knowing that my girls have best friends :lol:
I will be in north wales from oct 24th (long weekend) visiting friends with organic farm just outside Bala - we are hoping to move up sometime in the next 5 - 7 years so hubby can carry on working and we can get established before old age sets in and we retire lol,
we have always wanted to be there since we were married - 22 years ago and counting hehe, now waiting for the rest of my brood (4 boys, 1 gone 3 to go) to leave home so we can come up to what we call our second home and enjoy the peace and tranquility of that beautiful country till the end of our days
