New girls...

We've been wanting more chickens since two of ours died... well actually, we've been wanting more eggs. So, Mel and I decided that we'd get some more chickens, and today was the day to just do it. We've got three pullets (young ones) this time - they're not quite fully grown yet. I don't think they're quite laying just yet, but hopefully they do soon and we'll be getting more eggs again.
For now, we've put them in what used to be the salad garden so that they're isolated from the other two (otherwise there may well be chicken murder committed - they really can be quite violent!). After a few days we'll have a go at integrating them with the other two - and we'll see if feathers fly.

I hope the pullets are settling in well. Have they met their friends yet?

They have been eyeing each other off through the chicken wire and the old ones have been 'talking' to the new ones.
