I thought that she may lay through the winter but then she stopped laying. Autumn would sit in her corner of the chicken shed for a while and then come out without laying. It was as if she thought she should be laying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought Autumn was finished and then today she laid an egg after a week&#8217;s break. It may be her last egg this year though as Mango did the same at the end of her laying. Mango also laid an egg after a week&#8217;s break and then no more so it may be the same for Autumn. Time will tell.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also today for the first time Mango jumped on my back when I was cleaning the chicken run. she always follows me around and has often looked like she wanted to jump on me but couldn&#8217;t quite manage it. Today I was bending over close to the chicken&#8217;s patio and she jumped on me from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/the-girls.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/the-girls.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/the-girls.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/the-girls-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/the-girls-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The girls stay close to the patio area at this time of year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn&#8217;t much to report at this time of year.
