Deirdre and Evangeline looked deep in conversation and Mabel wanted to get in on the action as well.

So a couple of days ago we let the girls all free-range together. Evangeline loved being out in the sunshine and started digging around for some nice, tasty insects to eat. Deirdre and Mabel did chase her around for a while and would give her a bit of a peck when she got to close to any food they were eating. But eventually things settled down.

We've let them all out together a couple of times. Poor Evangeline does still get chased a little and is definitely at the bottom of the pecking order, but so far, so good.
Maybe next week I'll be brave enough to take the bamboo cane divide out of their run and integrate them fully (Gulp!)
i am intrigued by your eglu set up. How do you keep the grass intact? Do you move it about?
ReplyDeleteWhen we first got the girls the run was on the grass and even though we moved it around our grass was destroyed. The run is now on wood chips, with a link-a-board surround. We let the girls free range most days if we're about to keep an eye on them. There's not too much grass damage when they are free ranging!
