Red has now come back into lay after a break of one month which was longer than usual for her. She is back to laying every other day. Maple seems to be taking a break and hasn’t laid for a week now. I often say that I think non broody girls just need to take a short break sometimes.

Cloud came through being broody after a few days and has now started moulting. She is dropping feathers as she moves but doesn’t look much different apart from a slightly ragged tail. The interesting thing is that her comb is now pale like Mango’s is.

Cloud’s comb isn’t quite as pale as Mango’s but it’s not the lovely bright red it was when she was laying. She does have a taller comb than Mango so it always looks a bit more impressive.

At least now Red is back in lay we still have three girls laying so that’s a bonus. All is calm in the chicken run.
