Butterscotch is looking good. She is nearly fully feathered at last. She has now been laying over a seventeen day period (twelve eggs) so will probably go broody again soon. I just hope that doesn’t mean she will start moulting again. It would be so good if this time she would keep her feathers. She has been moulting on and off for a year now.<\/p>\n

It is so good to see her with feathers again and if it were any other girl I would know at this point that the feathers would be there to stay but with Butterscotch I can’t be sure. Last time she was this well feathered she then went broody and moulted them back out again. I do wonder how many times they can grow back in one year.<\/p>\n

I have never before come across a girl who in the same year drops her feathers, grows them back in then drops them again and grows them back in once more. Please Butterscotch, can you keep them this time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
