I haven’t blogged much recently because at this time of the year there isn’t much happening or much to say so I decided to pop out and take some portrait photos of the girls, the first portraits of the year. I just clicked each girl in quick succession to get a snapshot of how they are at the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autumn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Autumn has the palest comb of all the girls. Although she is standing on one leg this photo shows her leg and foot looking completely normal again. Since picking her up all the time to treat her legs and feet she doesn’t like me to come closer than this with the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Sugar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sugar still spends ninety percent of her time sitting. In winter her two spots are the ladder or the perch in the shelter. I still worry about her quality of life but we will see how she goes on in spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Gold<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Red<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once again Red was in the nest box getting her egg laid. Red doesn’t like the camera anyway so I thought I would just take her photo in the nest box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the really cold weather recently Red has dropped from laying every other day to every fifth day. I hope as we get into spring she will start laying more often again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the girls are looking good and Sugar is the only one we worry about at the moment. She is resilient and keeps going but we always worry about her quality of life when she spends so much of her time sitting or perching. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
