Experiment

Although Lou has gone after Bruiser a few times in the last week, she is getting along with all the birds.  Lou is basically Switzerland, but different.

Bill is easily influenced by Bruiser.  Maybe because they are both Black Star Chickens. Birds of a feather?

Bruiser is anti-Fitz.

  

Fitz is anti-Bruiser.

This is even funnier when you know our friends that the chickens are named for.

Fitz is molting.

The other chickens are not.

For this reason, we've had Fitz in isolation within the coop.  

But this evening I thought that if Fitz can get along with Bill and Lou, then maybe she and Bruiser can take turns in isolation.  So I decided to test Fitz and Bill together.  We already know that Lou and Fitz are getting along well.

As you can see, Bill and Fitz were glad to be eating spinach together.  Friends 'til the end!  

It took Bruiser awhile to realize she was in a cage.  Then she noticed.  So did Fitz.  

Then Bruiser went back to her evening treats.

So there.  Fitz and Bruiser can take turns in isolation until their little spat comes to an end.
