Autumn

Posted on 4 May 2025 by Carol

Autumn came to us on 22nd June 2023 at three months old. Autumn laid her first egg on 3rd October 2023 and her last egg on 1st February 2024. She never laid again. We lost her overnight on 3rd May 2025. She was two years old.

Although we have only dropped from eight girls to seven the flock feels small at the moment. Autumn is missed, two years was too short a time. She was a beautiful girl.

      I agree. Sometimes I wonder why I get the problem girls but I suppose these things happen to everyone. She was so beautiful, it is such a shame. I got her through the dreaded scaly mite and then this happens.
