A couple of weeks ago we received a new face around these parts and boy is he a beauty. At least I think so, our feathery girls not so much at first. "Swampy" is our newest coop resident, who came to us by way of my Sis. Seeing as he is very talkative she figured country life was better suited for him. Swamp or Swampy is a Golden Laced Wyandotte who is very "gabby."
Until this point there had never been an "intruder" enter into this now flock of two until Swampy came along, so we never had any chicken fights. Boy did we find out who was the queen of the roost. Cricket was not happy about this new boy, but Lucy was very intrigued and follow the new Mr. Swamp everywhere he went. The first morning as I went to check on them, all 3 residents had feathers out of place, but seemed to be getting along much better.
Now that it has been a few weeks, the girls are getting used to the new resident (he and Lucy hang out all the time) and Cricket is at least being civil.
