Yesterday Jackie and I visited each others girls for the last time this year as Jackie and her husband go away to warmer climes for Christmas. Jackie has a friend who looks after her chickens while she is away.<\/p>\n

I didn’t get many good shots of the girls as they were not cooperating and kept turning away just as I clicked.<\/p>\n

Blossom is looking amazing<\/p><\/div>\n

Blossom now has ginger neck feathers<\/p><\/div>\n

Blossom has a fluffy bottom again<\/p><\/div>\n

Blossom now has all her feathers back in. Her neck feathers have come back ginger instead of pale peach and her little head crest is back as well as fluffy feathers on her bottom and a lovely tail. It is lovely seeing her looking so good after a year of missing neck feathers.<\/p>\n

As part of Jackie’s flock she has thrived and away from the previous feather plucking has now had her first proper moult and at last regrown all her feathers.<\/p>\n

The same thing is happening in my flock. The girls that had feathers pulled have now moulted and got all their feathers back for the first time in a year.<\/p>\n

Jackie and I discussed how lovely both flocks are looking and how well we have done with them. We both know that the difficult decisions we made for our flocks were without doubt the right ones.<\/p>\n

I will update with photos of my girls soon as they have changed so much recently. I know that both Jackie and I are really happy with our two quite different but equally beautiful flocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
