no more cock fighting in the garden

henny and spikey [was told thats what hennys new chuckmate is called] have been in their egglu together for a while now and poor spikey has been bullied and plucked of a lot of feathers by henny for stepping into her territory,henny was the weak bullied one when ethel and penny were with her.

so on friday had looked at their egglu and realised both of them were napping together on the ground when the new chuck chuck wasnt even allowed out into the pen by henny before that.
had planned hennys old favourite treat with staff-all cooked peas,sweetcorn and rice mixed and thrown in,and we gave it to them-both henny and new chuck were being like best friends together whereas it was always a nasty battle with each other when it was henny/penny/ethel.

heres some nice photos had taken of them-henny-up close and personal.

this is the new chuck,day after she was dropped off or something like that.
even so she was quite friendly then.



here they are being pals,they know something nice is coming for them...



dey be gettin ready for the drop...




henny-deciding which food type she is going to neck first.





eating together.


-chickens are great pets,woud recommend them to anyone.
if they are tame they can like being held in arms just watching everything go by, henny is like a dog with certain people who give her alot of attention even though she is an ex battery hen and think the new chuck is going to be very friendly as she has come from our farm and is already used to lots of people.

have been showing mum/dad pictures for ages,and pictures of the pen and stuff and information on urban chicken keeping,mum wants them but dad comes up with an excuse against everything.
