The naughty step

Pearl is fenced off from the others, to stop her bullying Ida

Pearl (bottom left) is on the poultry equivalent of the naughty step (actually a sub-pen made from chicken wire and bricks) in an attempt to stop her bullying poor Ida (top right), who’s seizing the opportunity to have a drink.

UPDATE: We thought we’d have to do this every day, but in fact Ida’s confidence increased massively from this point on, so it’s been a one-off thus far.  But we’ve left the bricks in the pen so we can re-install the fence at a moment’s notice.
