Upon collection of your new birds it is advisable to do the following:
- put them in their own run without introducing other birds to them initially
- allow them to investigate their new surroundings undisturbed without too much handling
- ensure they have access to food and water
- ensure they understand where their perches are, sometimes it is
necessary to give them a helping hand!!
- keep in an enclosed run for atleast a week before allowing to free range
- bond with your bird, feeding small quantities of corn from the hand
will encourage this
- avoid putting in an unknown cockerel until they are settled
- egg laying can stop when birds are moved due to the stresses involved with
travelling etc, be patient, they will settle and lay again
