Day 3

It all went relatively smoothly today. The new girls were easier to get out of the coop, and the original girls were back to normal noise level, just a bit of a cluck when they'd laid an egg.
I gave them all spring greens from Sainsburys, and the 4 polished theirs off quickly, while the newbies weren't sure what to do with a cabbage hanging from the roof of their run.  They got the idea eventually, but there was still half left in the evening.  I gave them all rice in the evening with meal worms and poultry spice, but I gave the new girls a bit less and added corn and they ate the lot.
At bed time the bluebell went first, rather reluctant to face the 4, then the ranger, but Alice the Sussex escaped into the run, and when I tried to catch her she ran into the coop on her own.  Clever chook!
