Yesterday I suspected that Red was getting ready to lay again. Red was in the grit and oyster shell and she always does this the day before starting to lay again. I wonder how she knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday Snow laid and continued to stay in the corner of the chicken shed where she lays her eggs. At bedtime she settled in the corner of the chicken shed. I lifted her to the perch and she dropped down again several times. I knew Snow was broody. I perched her again when the pop hole closed and she stayed there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today Red settled in a nest box and Snow settled in the corner of the chicken shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I later returned Red was out and Snow was in the nest box Red had been in. I lifted her out and there was Red’s egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual it’s one in and one out. Snow has gone broody after laying eleven eggs in sixteen days. Red has come back into lay after a break of ten days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile Gold is moulting heavily so she won’t be laying again this year. Once again we have only one girl laying. Every egg this year is a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
