This morning I managed to get a photo of Ginger properly settled in the nest box. This time Ginger didn’t move when I took her photo.
In other news Red is moulting big time. There are piles of her feathers all around the run and in the chicken shed each morning. I am surprised she isn’t bald. She actually looks surprisingly good in spite of the huge number of feathers I am picking up every day.
Red is the last girl to moult so it will be good to have them all through it before the cold weather arrives.
Snow is still laying and has laid six eggs since she started laying again. Ginger has now laid seven eggs in eleven days. She is a good little layer of tiny eggs. Silver isn’t looking at all ready to start laying yet.
The bedtime routine continues to work really well. Gold has continued to perch on the corner perch and this makes it easier for the rest of the girls to settle out of her way. All is in harmony with the flock which is lovely.

Good news, all is well.
Indeed, all is good.
You’re right that moulting now is a bonus for them (and us!) despite being knee-deep in feathers. Ginger looks beautiful; fingers crossed that she continues to lay.
Red is looking tatty now. I have taken some more photos for my next post. She still has a fluffy bottom though. It is good to get the moulting done with. Ginger is beautiful.
