Since I started spraying Autumn’s legs and feet every night with the “healthy legs and feet” spray she has healed nicely. She pecked two more small spots after that but now hasn’t pecked her legs for a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suddenly realised how many sprays I now have in my chicken store cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seems ridiculous but I actually feel that they are all invaluable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storm is now moulting and I am finding lots of little black feathers in the chicken shed and the run. I think this means she is finished laying for this year. Both Storm and Gold stopped laying at the end of August last year so I think they are finished for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think only Sugar will come back into lay as she finished laying at the end of October last year and she isn’t moulting yet but she only lays six to seven eggs before going broody so it won’t be many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves just Snow laying and possibly Red if she ever gets started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gave the girls a fish treat today as the extra protein is good for them while moulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red has been dropping feathers ever she since she came to us. I can’t remember having a first year girl drop so many feathers before although she never looks any different. She is taking her time maturing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snow is giving us enough eggs for one breakfast a week but as long as the girls are happy and healthy I don’t mind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
