There have been lot’s of tiny feathers from Flame in the chicken shed each morning. She is now looking quite tatty. I am not surprised because Flame looked very tatty last year when she moulted.<\/p>\n

Flame is moulting<\/p><\/div>\n

Flame is looking really tatty<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s funny how they all moult quite differently. The little girls hardly look any different except for Marmite who lost loads of feathers at once and is now a mass of pins.<\/p>\n

Speckles has moulted a few feathers at a time this year and has hardly looked any different apart from when she lost her tail feathers.<\/p>\n

Ebony has had two partial moults. She didn’t moult last year but this year she went broody and had a partial moult and then started laying again. She then went broody again and once more had a partial moult. To my surprise she then started laying again. Ebony took a break for two and a half weeks then started laying again four days ago and has now laid three eggs.<\/p>\n

Smoke also started laying again eleven days ago and has laid seven eggs. All the other girls have stopped laying. Between Ebony and Smoke we are getting enough eggs for the weekend breakfasts.<\/p>\n

It is great to still be getting some eggs and I look forward to seeing the girls all fully feathered again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
