She's a grand lady! Beryl is just the right name for her.

How will you go about introducing her to your other girlies?

Had her two weeks so she is now, just about, accepted. First two days I kept them apart but in sight of each other but put her in the coop at night. She did get a bit of a hard time for a couple of days but they are fine now unless she dares to try and go where one of the others wants to be.

Has been laying since Saturday - 3 eggs so far. Breeder reckons 4 or 5 a week will be her norm.

Poor Martha has started to moult so has stopped laying. Every time she shakes herself she is surrounded by a little halo of feathers - very sweet.
