We have two new Speckled Sussex pullets to add to our flock. We, uh, "relocated" the two roosters we had and the demeanor of the hens changed dramatically. To replace the two roosters, I decided we needed two more girls. Wednesday we went to my friend's house in Marshall and picked two from her flock.
G named them "Purdy" and "Pretty" and they don't peck at us and like to be held. The other hens are in a bit of a huff over it all and really trying hard to establish the pecking order in the henhouse. It's funny to see the segregation among the flock, but I hope by the weekend the new girls will feel at home.
