Chook run – removing temporary divider

When we came home with the new Pekins (Speckles and Lilly) early in May I partitioned off one end of the main chook run to separate them from the older resident’s -  Misty and Ruby (Wyandotte’s).

This gives them their own space for a few weeks  (with water, feed and their own sleeping quarters) to get used to their new surroundings and for the older ones to accept the newcomers.

Towards the end of the second week we started letting them out into the garden. Everyone seems to be getting along fine so it’s time to remove the chicken wire divider – below.



Next and final stage…and the most difficult is to transition the new girls into the chook shed.


I’ll leave their dog coop there for a few days and hopefully they will find their own way into the coop with the others sometime in the next few evenings.
