We are slowly introducing the girls to one another in safe environments. Last night we had supervised yard time. Fitz and Bill demonstrated their authority, but we didn't see anything other than the normal pecking order establishment behaviors. There are definitely chicken cliques: old girls and new girls. Hopefully they will soon make new friends and keep the old.
Bill will be sent back to broody breaker-hood tomorrow for some reinforcement. She was acting a lot more like her old self today but needs more encouragement.
