On 28th July of this year I added Butterscotch and Speckles to my flock. Speckles started her moult within days of being with us and her tail promptly fell out.
Because of this I delayed adding the new girls to the page “Meet the flock”. I have been waiting for Speckles to grow her tail back so that I could get a good, true photo of her. Now she has finally got her tail back to it’s former glory I have updated the pages “Meet the flock” and “Some information about my bantam breeds”.
I felt that “The history of the flock” was getting rather long so I have now called it “The history of the flock part one” and have added a new page called “The history of the flock part two“. This continues the history from the point at which I added Butterscotch and Speckles to the flock.
Below are the photos that I have used on these updated pages.

At last my blog is all up to date.

Well done Mum you managed to add another page by yourself!
🙂
I did! Even so, I still need your help. I tried to add the links but couldn’t get them to work.
Well done. !
Speckles is looking especcially good .
She is looking good. She still has the little tuft on her head though so we are thinking this is just part of her.
Yay! I agree that both girls are looking good right now. My sussex may be finishing up her molt, while Peach the cochin was done almost a month ago. The rooster just drops feathers all the time, so he’s constantly molting…I think? (He’s perfectly healthy)
Some of mine take much longer than others. Some seem to drop feathers for months. It seems to be different for each one. At the moment Honey looks the worst. She looks a complete mess.
Thanks for making such a thoughtful and interesting blog with great photos ! I really enjoy your observations about behavior and how your coop and run is always evolving to what seems best for the girls. I have gotten many great ideas from your blog for my flock of 4 (2 LF, 2 bantams). Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am so pleased if I help give others some ideas.
