The girl’s bedtime routine is the same every day just like clockwork. They wait at the end of the run for me to go up and give them the bedtime corn. They then have a quick scratch by the patio area to make sure no corn has been missed.
Emerald always goes in first and always sits in this corner and always faces front
Followed by Speckles
The little girls always congregate in this corner before bedtime
At this point Speckles will often run out again and go up to the little girls and cluck at them. It is so obvious that she wants them to make their way in but they take little notice of her. She then returns to her spot next to Emerald.
Cinnamon is always the first little girl to go in to get her spot next to Speckles
Cinnamon always snuggles up to Speckles. She flutters her way under Speckles wing like a chick to her mum. She has a snug warm spot as close to Speckles as she can get.
Apricot is next in
Followed by Freckles and Dandelion is always last and always on the end
The only slight variation is that Freckles likes to be around the middle and sometimes her and Apricot may be the other way around. Cinnamon is always next to Speckles though and Dandelion is always on the end.
Emerald always faces the front but all the other girls will randomly face either way. It is quite sweet to this little routine play out each day.

They are all very sweet.Can see why you love them so much.
They are very sweet. I love the total togetherness of Speckles and Cinnamon in that last photo. They have such a sweet relationship and couldn’t be closer if they were really mum and chick.
That’s such a sweet picture. It’s also lovely to see that Freckles has bonded with the other girls now. xx
I am pleased that Freckles is part of the flock now rather than a loner. They are a really close flock. xx
Looks like they are doing a good job of keeping each other warm!
They are. Cinnamon flutters her way under Speckles wing and almost disappears. Dandelion on the end moves closer as they settle down.
Cosy!
They do look cosy.
