She then laid two days running missed a day and laid again this morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storm gave up being broody after a couple of days. Mango and Cloud being broody together has caused them to take longer to come out of it as they egg each other on, excuse the pun! However a few days later Mango gave up and a few days after that Cloud has almost given up. She stays out in the run all day but sits in the corner of the chicken shed at bedtime. I lift her to the perch and she stays there so I think she is almost through it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Dot and Gold are laying two days out of three so we are getting enough eggs to keep us going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always feel a post is a bit flat without photos so when I was ready to give out the end of the day treat of sunflower hearts I took my camera with me. The girls all run to me in expectation. I had to keep stepping backwards and then quickly click but got a good group photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just after this my husband came back from the allotment with a huge spinach plant that had gone to seed. We put it in the run and I took another photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-girls-run-to-me.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-girls-run-to-me.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-girls-run-to-me.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-girls-run-to-me-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-girls-run-to-me-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The girls run to me<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/allotment-soinach-gone-to-seed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/allotment-soinach-gone-to-seed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/allotment-soinach-gone-to-seed.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/allotment-soinach-gone-to-seed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/allotment-soinach-gone-to-seed-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Allotment spinach that has gone to seed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The girls loved this and were pecking away until bedtime.
