Storm is our only egg laying girl at the moment. She lays every other day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we lost Salmon, Sugar has spent a lot of time on her own. I wonder if she misses Salmon. Her favourite spots are on the branch perch at the top of the ladder if there is a patch of sun and on the shelf inside the shelter if there isn’t any sun. Sugar can often be found here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar has a red comb and face. In fact all the girls have red combs and faces at the moment so I am sure there will be more egg laying starting soon. I am sure that like me the girls will be glad when better weather arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote this part of the post yesterday but held off putting it out. I wanted to leave my tribute to Salmon as my last post for a bit longer to do justice to our lovely girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then today there was more nest box action so I had to add to this post. Gold has been squatting and has been really vocal recently and we have been sure she was about to start laying. Today she was vocalising more than we have ever heard her before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
And finally Gold has settled in the nest box<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next time I checked Gold had laid her first egg of the year. Storm laid soon after her giving us our first, two egg day, of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How lovely to have another girl laying. Well done Gold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
