Speckles has some mash

Speckles is always too nervous to join the other girls at the mash but I never worry as I know that as soon as they tire of it she moves in for her share. Every time this happens I can’t get to my camera in time to catch the shot.

Today I left my camera in the chicken store cupboard and was at last able to capture the shot.

It is good to see Speckles getting her share of the mash and also good to see that Butterscotch is the one girl who doesn’t intimidate her. During this cold spell these two girls can often be found perching together. It is good to have a friend.

    Two beautiful acquisitions to your flock. Speckles’ plumage is stunning. Good that she and Butterscotch enjoy each other’s company.

    Speckles has come on in leaps and bounds. I just wish that my Bluebell would be less shy but after 2 years I don’t hold out much hope.. But at least she is not afraid of the other girls .. Just me .

    • Speckles has come on so much. She is the other way round from your Bluebell, she isn’t afraid of me but remains nervous of the other girls. Yesterday I was poop picking and cleaned the wooden block she was standing on and I was able to touch her. First her foot then her side. I was amazed!
