Speckles is definitely getting ready to lay again

For the last couple of days when I have gone to stroke Speckles she has dropped into a squat. She is definitely getting ready to lay. Today she sat in the nest box nearest the chicken shed and was piling pine shavings on to her back.

I really thought she was going to produce her first egg of the year but she later came out with out laying an egg. Even an older girl sometimes needs a bit of practice.

Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

    Speckles has been in and out of the nest box again this morning. Her comb usually ends up about twice the size it is now. I love seeing it when it’s huge too!

    Smoke laid again this morning after a two week break. Marmite has had a three week break so far. Smoke really is a good layer for a serama. xx
