Over the evening and next day we watched as pecking order was being established. I was a little worried about our Blue as she was clearly bottom of the pecking order. She didn't leave the top of the coop and when the other two came near she would cower in the corner with her head down. As we were worried that she wasn't eating or drinking we put an additional food and water supply up the top with her. She's already stolen my heart!
We watched closely over the next few days and were happy that she was now leaving the nesting box for food and water so removed the additional supply.
We also decided on names:
Chalkhill Chestnut Brown - Nugget
Chalkhill Blue - Noodle
Chalkhill Pearl - Sparta (fans of the film 300 and we can introduce her "THIS IS SPARTA!")
