I love seeing the girls dust bathing. It is usually a communal thing but one thing that can always be guaranteed is that Peaches and Barley will always dust bath together.
Three girls dust bathing together
Speckles is nearby but never quite as close as these two girls are.
Emerald and Butterscotch join the three girls
Peaches and Barley appear to have their heads together having a bit of a gossip.
Peaches and Barley watch Speckles with interest
They appear to be checking if Speckles is getting the soil just right.
Emerald settles near by
Toffee sits on her own
Toffee is very often sitting on her own and she likes to sit in this sideways position. She can be quite a solitary girl.
Butterscotch’s head and neck feathers are nearly back in
Butterscotch is also very often just doing her own thing.
Another view of Butterscotch’s feathers
Butterscotch’s feathers are so nearly back to normal. I keep hoping they will come fully in and stay put. Whatever, the girls are happy and contented and that is lovely to watch.
I have just noticed that is my thousandth post. That’s amazing!

I l0ve the way Peaches and Barley do every thing together.They are such good freinds.
They are totally bonded with each other because they have been together since they hatched. We call them the “twinnies” and are always saying – the twinnies are doing this, that, are here, there, just doing everything in absolute unison. You can’t help but smile at them.
