They've been able to interact through the chicken wire for over a month now. It doesn't seem to make any difference when she's let out into the big run. Thanks for the thought though!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614297586468407210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695059225009588737.post-72779498993439527992009-11-16T04:09:40.848-08:002009-11-16T04:09:40.848-08:00Whenever we've integrated new birds with an es...Whenever we've integrated new birds with an established flock (we've done it twice now so we're not experts by any means), we put the new ones in a wire rabbit crate or dog crate - completely enclosed and safe. They have their water, their food, shelter if it rains (our coop porch where we put the cage has a roof), a little perch and they are safe from the older girls who want to get them as the newbie clucks away in the coop next to them. They stay there for at least a week. The other girls can check them out and stand on the crate and do whatever it is that chickens do but they can't peck or harm them. We've been pretty successful - maybe try something like that?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101962438380212618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695059225009588737.post-87822352260791877862009-11-14T16:46:28.091-08:002009-11-14T16:46:28.091-08:00Another idea occurred to me.

Don't beat yourself up, either way you've done right by each and every one of those birds from day one. Be proud.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255364841410921986noreply@blogger.com
