New Egg Layers

Yesterday, we moved our new egg layers in with the old ones. The old and the new layers spent a lot of time checking each other out. Last night, when we went to close up the coop for the night and check on the new ones the new layers were perched on the outside one in the run. We picked each of them up and put them up in the coop.

This morning Chuck opened the coop and found the new and old layers at a stand off. The old layers would not come out because they had to go past the new layers of whom they were scared. The new layers could not figure how to get out of this new strange building they had woken up in this morning. Chuck finally helped the new layers get out of the coop down the ramp. Then the old layers decided it would be safe to go.

Tonight we went out to find the new layers all huddled together on the outside perch once again. Unfortunately, the remains of Hurricane Isaac has finally reached us so they were out in a steady rain. We once again picked them up and put them inside of the coop on the perch. Tomorrow, we will see if they will come down on their own and then figure out how to get back up. We shall see/ Otherwise, we will be doing ramp walking lessons with the new ones once the weather clears. . .
