Hello just wondering how everyones newbies are settling?

I've got 3 who seem really well and are great but one who just wants to sit in the coop!  She's made herself a rather cozy next by nicking all the straw from the nest boxes and is just sitting in there!  Every 2-3 hours i pick her up and put her in the run so she will at least drink and eat a little but its 10 mins before she back in the coop. She's also the smallest and baldest of the 4 ex batts. The biggest gal (Mrs Bennet) seems to be picking on her a little too :?   Now is she just a little broody - should i worry?

Apart from that they are behaving like normal chickens already - they LOVE grapes, perch on anything they can get on, scratch the grass up beautifully, they even put themselves to bed for the 1st time yesterday and i've had 6 eggs in 3 days! They don't seem as poorly as i'd prepared myself for!

Aw how sweet, Mrs Bennett sounds a character. As for the little one just give her the extra TLC, difficult I know :roll:  :roll:

Aw bless thier little cotton socks I'm sure she will come out and play soon. I love the name Mrs Bennet ( I might chick lift it)

I've gone out now i'm home and mrs Bennet is now in residence in the coop and the 2 weakest ones have a little blood on their combs!!!  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  

Its only a little bit but they've obviously been pecked  :cry:  What should I do?  Will they just work things out?
