It was only three days ago that I did a post on combs and I said in the comments that Speckles comb would get a bit bigger and redder. Today I realised that in just that short time it has got bigger and redder. Whereas it still had some lighter patches a few days ago it is now completely red.<\/p>\n

Even Emerald’s face is now quite pink. The little girls have really red faces and combs and the good news is that we haven’t seen Freckles pecking at Rusty’s head since I last mentioned it. I think her head feathers are looking a bit better.<\/p>\n

I took some photos just before bedtime so it is getting a bit dark.<\/p>\n

By the time I turned round to get another shot of these two they had gone in to bed. I am impressed by how quickly they make their way straight to their own perch these days. No hesitating like they used to do and therefore no getting bothered by the bigger girls.<\/p>\n

They have lovely red faces and combs and Rusty’s head feathers look pretty much back to normal. Hurrah! We just need them to start laying some eggs now.<\/p>\n

I think that Speckles will the next girl to lay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
