MJ's little flock

[LozzyR]

It falls off my radar sometimes too!!



How's your flock going?

They still seem to be ok. Crossing fingers it stays that way.

This is such heart-warming news! I'm so happy for you, but yes, fingers crossed.

There are four chickens in this picture. They’re very naughty and insist on roosting on the food box! (Hence the towel).

Janet's eye is improving, it seems the swelling is reducing and she's more lively. But now it's her turn to start the heavy part of her moult.

Mary is nearing the end of her moult, her new feathers are filling out. Peggy's moult is completely finished and she looks fantastic. Edie's new tail has started poking through. Ivy is now dropping her wing feathers and her new body feathers are a wonderful deep gold and her tail is blacker than before. Katie and Christa seem to be replenishing a few of their breast feathers. Joyce needs to drop and replace almost every feather, I don't know how she's keeping warm, but it's just not happening.

Everyone is eating well and seem to be thriving, except for Janet's eye.

And I haven't seen an egg in weeks. I've eaten my stash and will be eating out for breakfast next weekend.

Thanks for the update. Somehow I missed that they were even molting, though it makes sense.

Yes, it's feathers everywhere season!

I've just been outside working on the roost. I filled a big gap between two sheets of ply where I'd failed to measure carefully enough. Next weekend it'll be dry, so weather permitting, I'll sand, wipe and paint it.
