Companihens chickens

[Companihen]

Estella, Minnie and Toenails are still faithful layers. Percy is showing lots of attention to Polka and Prue and mating them several times a day now. And I've also seen polka and prue checking out the eglu house where the others lay. So I wonder if they'll start again soon.

Cleopatra is molting, she doesn't look terrible but doesn't leave the run much and goes up to bed before 3. Percy tries to stay with her but when she goes to roost he dashes out into the garden to enjoy a bit of ranging!

Everyone else is looking pretty healthy atm and enjoying the garden when it's not raining. They mainly stay with Armand and Percy is up in the run with Cleopatra. Pepin and Pinch of course so entirely their own thing and follow nobodies rules.

Taking scraps up and opening them to the garden this morning. Cleopatra dust bathing and wasnt interested in scraps. Everyone else lively. Worried about a possible pussy sore on Toenails foot. And but of selling near it between 2 toes. Couldn't get a picture as she wasn't still but ill have a look properly when she comes to the back door. no limping at all but pinch was pecking it at one point

Toenails feet are fine, just the usual bent backwards toes... must have just been some dirt or something!

Armand leading the polish where they shouldn't be.

Little cleopatra just sitting, with Percy nearby.

And black who is molting.
