It didn&#8217;t last for long. The wind chill factor has made it feel colder today but we are so lucky to escape the snow. It caused chaos in the north of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The girls know the drill in this weather. They all congregate on the perch above the ladder to catch the morning sun. As soon as the sun is gone from there they alternate between the two shelters. The shelters have proved invaluable this winter. I am really pleased at how much the girls take advantage of them.<\/p>\n<p>The girls are looking good and the sneezing is gradually getting less and less. Cinnamon is dropping her tail feathers but she continues to roost under Speckles wing at night so I feel she is able to keep herself warm. It is heartwarming to see them snuggled up together.<\/p>\n<p>I feel that the flock is in a better place than it has been for a while and I am looking forward to getting the girls into spring and warmer weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scotland have just had a heap of snow.
