I will end the year as usual with my egg count for the year. I will list the number of months the girls were laying as some girls have a shorter season than others.
I will start with Sugar and Autumn who laid no eggs and we sadly lost both girls in May.
Gold – 5 months – 54 eggs.
Storm – 4 months – 34 eggs.
Cloud – 4 months – 40 eggs.
Mango – 3 months – 25 eggs.
Snow – 8 months – 85 eggs.
Red – 9 months – 98 eggs.
Red had laid for 11 months altogether counting the end of last year when she laid a further 19 in 2 months.
Ginger – 2 weeks – 9 eggs.
Ginger laid 9 eggs in 2 weeks then moulted which is unusual for a first year girl.
Silver – 2 weeks – 5 eggs.
Silver laid 2 eggs in 3 days then had an 8 day break. She then laid 3 eggs in 5 days and then another break of 6 days so far.
The total eggs this year is 350.
I decided to give the girls a New Year’s Eve treat of yogurt topped with chopped grapes.


I would like to wish all my readers a Happy New Year.
