Poulets entente cordiale

Hurrah! I translated the chortling correctly.

Gertrude has accepted Chichi: the odd nip just to establish the pecking order but no fighting. I've put them together this evening and will let Gertrude out to free-range until the same time tomorrow evening. After a few days of this arrangement, I'll take down the temporary run and keep my fingers crossed that Chichi will accept her new home and not pack her bags and set off across Somerset for Shangri La.

Flash is retaining her status as chief chicken of course.
