Emerald and Speckles have become quite a twosome. They are often perching or sitting together.

Emerald likes to stretch her wings out to the sun
Emerald now has several white feathers under her wings which I think are a sign of her age. She has always liked to stretch her wings into the sun.
Dandelion and Cinnamon perch together
These two are also always together and sometimes all of the three amigos perch together too. Rusty and Freckles also perch together but today Freckles was in the cat box, nest box, laying her egg.
Apricot practices in the nest box again
Apricot now goes into the nest box each day to practice laying. After an hour I lift her out and she always goes to the apple and stays out after that. It’s a bit like dealing with a broody girl except not quite the same.
Emerald and Apricot share a bit of apple

Emerald has the sweetest nature and will share treats with any other girl. Speckles and Freckles wouldn’t allow Apricot to share the same piece of apple like this but Emerald is just a sweetheart.

Emerald IS a sweetheart and so funny that Apricot likes to practice!! xx
Emerald has the sweetest nature of any chicken I have ever come across. I have had girls practise in the past but not recently and not seramas. xx
They are sweet.
I am biased but they are incredibly sweet.
Seems wonderfully harmonious.:)
I think this is actually the most harmonious the flock have ever been. I am loving it and hope it stays like this for a very long time.
