Well the old girls seem to have completely lost interest with the new ones, so no more fighting. The two new girls are still separated and in their runs, I'm hoping it won't be too much longer until they can play freerange, but they still haven't got the hang of going to bed when its dark.
The new hens especially Bellatrix eat so much, you can definatly tell they have been starved all their lives so far. Bella really enjoyed her few chips the other day.
And we have also fed both girls corn by hand, they were both gentle unlike the first time we tried to feed bella when we first got her and she tried to take my finger off- good thing they don't have teeth.
You can definatly see that sping is on the way, I have seen Phoenix several times darting around the lawn chasing flys. She looks so crazy whilst doing it because you can't see the fly shes chasing so all you can see is her darting forwards doing quick changes in direction.
The girls have had a scary visitor this week in their garden, a baby bunny. It really worried Sophia and Phoenix when it hopped towards them, and both girls had to run away screaming and they didn't spot crying until they jumped up onto the bench out of reach of this scary furry thing.
