I am feeling so much happier after seeing Topaz and Honey yesterday. They are settling in fine and my flock of six are much more settled too.
I gave them a dish of mash this morning and it was so nice to see all six girls round the dish and Speckles is now allowed to join in at the same time.

I love seeing them all enjoy the mash together
Butterscotch is gradually looking better too. Her breast feathers are finally opening and she has just a line at her breast now instead of a v shaped gap. She is getting some feathers on her head too. It’s been really slow but she is still laying eggs so I think that’s why her feathers are taking so long to open.
I wish she would take a break from laying and get her feathers through but of course we can’t decide what’s best for them. It will happen the way it happens.

I am so happy that my flock are are back to normal, looking happy and settled with no problems. I hope it now stays this way.

All the photos speak pure contentment.
It is amazing how much easier my flock are with each other. I hadn’t realised when Topaz and Honey were with the flock, how aggressive they were at keeping their pecking order. It’s so gentle now. Long may it continue.
