Day Four

It's day four since we collected our six girls and brought them back to Wilmslow. They are settling in very quickly and seem very content, but one! She looks like she has a broken wing as it is hanging down somewhat on one side.
Still she does not seem to bothered by it, apart from not being able to flap like the others. Already a 'pecking order' is being formed, with one of the new hens joining Rhodey and Red where ever they seem to go.

We have been letting them out on the grass at the bottom of the garden to peck around, while being contained by some chicken wired frames from the fold out coup we had them in on day one.

This posts picture was taken on my mobile. You can see what I think is the dominant new top hen, although still ranked as No3. Oh and we also had a very nice follow up email from the BHWT checking all is well and giving some contact details.
