Before I update on chicken progress I just have to put out one photo of the next rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another rose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This rose was already here when we moved in fifteen years ago but was hidden behind shrubs. Since we gave it room it has spread and it flowers from now until the first frosts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I thought it would be good to get a group photo while the girls had their greens this morning. They are such a pretty flock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flame had seemed completely back to normal since her first eye drops at the vet on Thursday and we were thinking we might stop giving them to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then today for the first time since her vet visit she had her right eye closed this afternoon so we have decided to carry on with them. I have just checked on her again and her eye is open but we will keep going for longer and keep watching her closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news Sugar laid an egg yesterday for the first time since her latest broody spell and as usual for her it was two weeks after I broke her out of her broodiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spangle only laid five eggs this year before she stopped and had a partial moult. It’s now six weeks since she last laid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salmon hasn’t started to lay this year but she looks really amazing with a lovely red face and comb. I am quite happy to have her never lay again as long as she stays healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dot laid four eggs each one four days apart and then stopped and hasn’t laid for two weeks now. She has been moulting too. I think perhaps because she matured at the end of last year she has started an early moult and may resume laying when she stops dropping feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flame, Gold, Snowflake and Storm are all laying well. With Sugar back in lay we now have five out of eight girls laying and yesterday had a five egg day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have now had enough eggs to give some to our neighbours on either side of us and still plenty for us to have them as often as we want. Well done girls!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
