They only leave the nest box to eat and drink when absolutely necessary. It would be great if they're actually incubating them, but in Raven's case, no rooster no fertile eggs.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199328139152042955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690745083870672507.post-85334858826279717892008-12-31T00:27:00.000-08:002008-12-31T00:27:00.000-08:00that is so sad. i can't believe the other hens wo...that is so sad. i can't believe the other hens would pick on her.

Our 2 bantams are tough on newcomers. When we got the new pullets, we put up a howdy gate for several weeks so everyone could acclimate slowly, which helped a bit. For awhile I thought they would kill Raven. Anyway, now there are 3... until spring.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199328139152042955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690745083870672507.post-39422623174880733962008-12-30T04:26:00.000-08:002008-12-30T04:26:00.000-08:00Awww, I hope Raven likes her new home and also hop...Awww, I hope Raven likes her new home and also hope she fits in better there. I've been really lucky and have not had any hens (out of 15) that have been truly picked on. That must be an awful feeling for them. Raven seems like such a sweet little girl. I'll keep good thoughts for her. :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.com
