I missed getting a photo of Cloud in the nest box. She was going in and out of the nest box by the gate but by the time I grabbed my camera she was back out. I then went indoors for lunch.
After lunch I went back out with my camera. There was a warm egg in the nest box by the gate and Cloud was at the water with a bit of pine shaving on her back.
Mango and Cloud seem to do every thing in unison so I had been expecting Cloud to lay soon after Mango.
Their eggs are very similar with Cloud’s egg just a little longer and more pointed than Mango’s. Well done Cloud!

Nice to be getting lots of eggs now.
It’s a bit of a slow down because two more girls have started just as two girls have gone broody and stopped but they should start again soon. Hopefully it’s just a temporary drop. They are lovely eggs.
Gold has come through her broody spell even quicker than Snow. Only two days. She came out of the nest box this morning to see if I had any treats and stayed out all day. Hopefully that means it won’t be too long before she starts laying again.
Great to have another one in lay. They’re a pairing which reminds me of Peaches and Barley. 🙂
They remind me of Peaches and Barley except that these two are even more bonded and in tune with each other.
