There's been a disturbance. Lavender has always struggled. In her present state she has no *lift* & left her run too late. There were too many bodies on the top roost so she had no manouver room. With so many smaller birds they are really able to cram on that top roost & with Lavender down they are all squishing up there. I don't think Lottie likes being so squished but she was certainly happy to have Lavender's company & Lavender was more than happy to find Lottie!
What a horrible, horrible, traumatic evening!
Mhari got back in a nesting box & Lavender snuggled up with Lottie. They often pair up so that was a good outcome & if Lavender loses her balance during the night, not so far to fall. I'm worried about her. She has dropped just about every feather she owns & is all quills & fluff & obviously her centre of equilibrium is off. With Lavender settled I moved Mhari yet again. 
She looked super peeved but settled so Lavender has someone either side which is good because our temps have plummeted. Suyin is also showing signs of having a heavy molt. All her hackle feathers have gone & round her tail looks like it's starting to go. 
] there were 5 eggs! Ha'penny [she's one of my white layers] & Morrigu ~ also white but lots smaller~ Beatha [blue], Luna who lays a nice good sized brown & Hepzibah, who lays a beautiful tan egg. After a couple of eggless days it was a sight for sore eyes!
