… later in the day. This is a perfect illustration of a poorly hen, droopy tail, head withdrawn, apart on her own, even if there are goodies available elsewhere While at the other end of the Hen Garden …

Healthy Hens
All are well – Bridget going through a very slow moult so not laying (which is good), all three Welsummers laying from time to time, and Charity as gobby as ever. Lots of weeds in the garden as we clear the veg patches … so the girls are very happy, and their eggs are very [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve taken the camera out in the garden …

Quills
… are uncomfortable. And Sugar is feeling a little shy about her nakedness … so it wasn’t easy to get a picture to show you – she’s keeping well clear of the action!

Look – no tail!
Honey lacking her dignity The Autumn moult has begun … and Honey has no tail! She looks terribly undignified, but that’s nothing compared to Sugar: Sugar – looking very scruffy! No tail and no breast feathers, either. But it hasn’t yet taken hold of Treacle – who was very hard to photograph as she is [...]

Nothing goes to waste …
… when there are hens in the garden! Charity has been in isolation for five days, apart from one short spell in the nest box when she was released a day or so too early. So it was time to let her out, hopefully this time for good (well, until next summer, anyway). To take [...]

Another poorly hen …
Delia was clearly off colour this morning … and when I picked her up, she showed signs of a broken egg. She’s not hot or swollen underneath (symptoms of peritonitus) but as she’s clearly not herself, I gave her a bath (which she didn’t enjoy much). No pics of the bath … but DH found [...]

Hens in a dust bath … 1, 2, 3 …
Actually, there were four, but of course as soon as we came out of the kitchen door Verity came across on the off chance of a treat! So if you look carefully, there are still three hens in this pic … Bridget – who is top of the pecking order, and two of the Welsummers [...]

It didn’t work!
Honey in the stockade … I let Honey out to join the others in the Hen Garden today. She’s been in isolation for three days … but the moment my back was turned, she disappeared into the Cube and I found her in the nest box again! Oh for goodness’ sake! So we have given [...]
