Who would have thought that the arrival of two pullets would cause such consternation! My niece didn't know what to get Sue for her birthday so decided on a couple more chickens. The egg supply has been a bit poor over the last few months so some new blood was welcomed. We made a separate pen for the new pair which was inside the existing chicken house so they could see each other. Well the first day there was lots of noise! Loud clucking etc. One of the older chickens wouldn't go to bed. That meant walking past the pullets. The next night all four had retired inside the wood shed, even though that's where the lamb sleeps. Each had to be caught had put into the chook house. Luckily tonight everything seems to have settled. What with the lamb and now the pullets their beaks have been put out of joint!
