It was an inconvenient time for her to go broody as it&#8217;s made it more difficult to watch her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have tried when possible to spy on Flame through the pop hole to check her eyes are open as I wondered if she would open them when she hears me opening the chicken shed door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get Flame out of the chicken shed for a break several times a day. She has had her eyes open all the time but being broody she does everything at speed. It&#8217;s water then food then a speedy dust bath and then a quick preen of her feathers and back in again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However I am convinced that she is back to normal and we gave her her last eye drops on Friday so that she had had a full week on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate I gave the girls a fish treat this morning which gave me a chance to photograph the whole flock together. I lifted Flame out to join the girls and she happily joined in with the fish treat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/a-fish-treat-for-the-girls.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/a-fish-treat-for-the-girls.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/a-fish-treat-for-the-girls-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/a-fish-treat-for-the-girls-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>A fish treat for the girls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/a-great-way-to-get-some-group-photos.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/a-great-way-to-get-some-group-photos.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/a-great-way-to-get-some-group-photos-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/a-great-way-to-get-some-group-photos-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>A great way to get some group photos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-girls-a-fish-treat.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-girls-a-fish-treat.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-girls-a-fish-treat-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/the-girls-a-fish-treat-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>The girls love a fish treat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/flame-is-looking-good.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/flame-is-looking-good.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/flame-is-looking-good-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/flame-is-looking-good-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Flame is looking good<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the back and left to right we have Salmon and in front of her we have Storm and Sugar.
