I don’t think it was mentioned at the start of this thread but the day we called in to see joyfull we were also going on to Grannie Annies to pick up six bovan browns. We had a chat with Joy and she kindly gave Sue anne the araucana eggs to put under her broody hen.  Next we all went off down to Grannie Annies to pick up the chooks.  Sue Anne took a fancy to the leghorns so three of them were popped into the box as well.
I put them all in a pen next to our old girls but the bovans soon started pecking the younger leghorns, I made a hasty pen and split then up to give the leghorns time to grow up and get stronger.

The  araucana  chicks are three and a half weeks old now and have taken over the leghorn pen.





The leghorns have been put into the bovan browns pen next to the old girls for the first stage of the integration process.








The bovan browns are now in with the old girls and although still very wary  of them are mixing in pretty well.

Awww lovely photo's Mr Mole and Sue Anne!

Everyone is doing really well!!  They all look happy and healthy!!!!

Chicks are one of nature's little miracles!!!  All that came out of a tiny egg and within days they are eating, drinking, scratching around and getting little feathers!!!
