Yesterday Red came into lay after a break of ten days. Storm is very vocal so may come back into lay soon. So far she has had a break of eighteen days.
Mango and Cloud have now started moulting. Last year after several broody bouts they started an early moult. Looking back it was at the end of June and beginning of July. This year it’s even earlier but I wonder if it’s because we have exceptionally hot weather for May.
Mango is more advanced than Cloud. She is also full of pins. It must be uncomfortable in this heat but I remember saying the same last year. At least they will get it over early. It may be the end of laying this year though giving them an even shorter season than usual.
