Elles sont mortes

[Hotrodder]

Apart from looking a bit scruffy (as expected) they are fine. They received no bullying from our other two and yesterday I allowed them out to free range. Normally bringing new birds into a group will be mayhem for a few days until the pecking order is established. They weren't too difficult to coax back into the enclosure so I think they have accepted it as their new home. We have had three quite small eggs from them so far with quite thin shells so I think it will take a while before their health improves enough to get into proper production. Our old pair are past laying now and will be allowed their comfortable retirement.
