Yesterday Gold came back into lay after a break of nine days. At the same time both Snow and Storm went broody. We seem destined to have only two girls laying which is currently Red and Gold.
Snow had laid seven eggs in twelve days since her last very brief broody spell. The good news is that her last three eggs were completely normal with the shape they used to be and no wobbles in the shell.
For Storm this is her first broody spell this year. She has laid twenty two eggs in two months.
Storm remains where I put her when I lift her from the nest box. Storm isn’t a very committed broody though. When I get her out for a break she will stay out for a while before going back in.
Hopefully the broody girls will come through it soon although no doubt another girl will then go broody.
