The day before the new girls arrived Silver was the only girl to lay. We are on an every other day cycle with egg laying at the moment. The day the new girls arrived we had another, six egg, day. Storm, Gold, Ginger, Red, Cloud and Mango laid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this happened while the new girls settled in but I felt the arrival of the new girls deserved it’s own post to introduce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, the most amazing thing, when I went to check at dusk, the new girls had put themselves to bed in their little coup. I don’t think we have ever had new girls put themselves to bed on the first night. I was absolutely blown away by this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been the most amazing start. Hopefully this means they will put themselves to bed every night. This has been the easiest start ever and I am so happy with how things are going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
