Up nice and early to let all the hens out.... Jean and Twinkle the 2 "oldies" start jumping on the new girls, 2 onto 1 and tearing out beakfuls of feathers as well as pecking at their combs. Whilst this is normal and we expected a bit of a scuffle while the pecking order was established, the sight of poor bleeding chickens was enough to prompt a bit of a Berlin Wall in the pen.
1 piece of netting segregating old from new, with food and water each side, and we left them to taunt each other through the netting.
