Thanks for all the help on here.
Just to update..... We collected her on the Wednesday, let them spend 3 days watching each other through the run.
Friday night I put her into the coop with the rest, I also got up before dawn on Saturday to remove her again as I didn't want any morning fighting whilst I was in bed...
Saturday the girls were free ranging while little Pearl was kept in the run. When I say run, I put her in the main run! It got to about 15:30ish and she went to bed into the nest box of the Eglu. I let the others into the run and they went up just before 16:00... So far so good...
I kept watch on my chair in case the feathers went flying! Only one of my Light sussex went into the nest box with her (Went to the other end), The rest stayed on the roosting bars.
Sunday morning I went down at 7am (breakfast time for them) and opened the run as they were just coming out of the coop. Still no fighting...
I left them and went back to bed. My thought was I they try it on then I'll hear them and go down. But they had the whole garden to roam around in...
When I went down later I noticed that she was a bit of a loner and wasn't part of the click yet....
Roll forward Tuesday and tonight, There are now 5 girls in the nest box with tiny Pearl in the middle! :blink:
They have accepted her with minimal fuss.
I have found out that she has no idea what corn is. Has never had it before and won't come anywhere near me! Unlike Dalia who likes to sit on my shoulder like a parrot.
The pecking order is not yet complete. No trouble arises BUT... Dalia (Cotswold Legbar) should be number 2... She avoids Pearl as if she is above her.
Now Pearl avoids my 2 Light sussex and Bornville the bully Burford Brown. Dalia has command over my light sussex.... I can see the light sussex kicking off at Dalia before long to claim their place. I'm hoping it's because she has just gone through the moult and is under weight. Give her time I'm thinking.
Well, I can't bore you all night long. Somebody please say something just so I know this has been read, even if you call me an idiot!
