The day after Snow came back into lay Gold went broody. It really has been one in and one out constantly this year. I don’t remember such a broody year as this but I wonder if it’s because we have had such good weather early in the year which would be ideal for raising chicks.
So we are back to three layers being Snow, Cloud and Mango. Gold has laid seven eggs in ten days.
One thing about Gold though is that when I lift her from the nest box for a break she always goes for a dust bath. Her favourite place at the moment is one of the many large holes Red has dug all round the run. It’s the deepest one at the bottom end of the run.
I am hoping that Red comes back into lay soon. This really is a yo yo year.
