Some fish for the girls

This morning I thought I would give the girls some fish. A bit of extra protein might help with growing feathers.

I am finding a handful of Speckles feathers in the run every time I go in and yet she doesn’t look any different. Butterscotch has been very vocal today and was inspecting the nest boxes. It has been a week since she stopped being broody so she may be about to start laying again. Her pin feathers are growing noticeably.

Some fish for the girls

It’s good to see them all sharing the fish with no squabbles

They are enjoying the fish and I hope it will help with feather production

I love how Barley’s comb stands up when she flicks her head

Butterscotch’s pins are long and look ready to open

I love being able to give the girls a treat in one dish these days instead of spreading several dishes around. There is no problem at all with all the girls getting their fair share.

Butterscotch looks like her feathers are so nearly there. I am hopeful that this time she really will get her feathers back in properly. Despite all the moulting the girls are looking great and Peaches gave us an egg today too.
