Noodle II decided that she wanted to take on the big girls so she ran at Sage who is a lot bigger and grabbed her by the neck but she was soon put in her place! Next Nugget was jumped on and then it was Sparta's turn. She decided that the only way away was up so she jumped on top of her coop and swiftly over the netting!
What ensued was about 15 mins of herding where we thought we'd lost her more than once. We knew that if she went over the garden fence that we would never get her back and she was fast! Finally we managed to pin her down and get her back inside the coop.
So it was back to the drawing board, clearly they were still not ready to be together and were too flighty to free range. We decided to put Nugget and Sparta in the dog crate with the walk in run so they could get used to each other for a few more weeks.
Noodle II however decided that she wanted to stay with the bigger girls and only recieves the odd peck to keep her in check.
