Egg production has gone down a bit as first Rusty started moulting and now Cinnamon appears to be moulting. This has left Freckles, Apricot and Dandelion still laying at the moment. Here are the last four day’s eggs.
Recent eggs
From left to right we have Dandelion, Apricot, Dandelion, Apricot, Freckles, Apricot and Freckles.
Apricot and Freckles eggs
Apricot’s egg is on the left and Freckles egg is on the right. I love how different these little girls eggs are.
We used to call the bantam eggs big and the serama eggs small. We have now moved on to call Freckles eggs big and Apricot and Dandelion’s eggs small. With a smaller supply we now have two big (Freckles eggs) each or three small (Apricot and Dandelion’s eggs) each.
They are still the most lovely eggs though!

How nice, lovely eggs.
Small but lovely. Cinnamon and Dandelion laid today.
Amazing shape, Freckles’ eggs. We are getting fewer, with quite a number of girls now moulting – it seems that some of them, when they come out of broodiness, immediately start to moult. Another 4 in to the anti-broody crate this past 2 days, and that’ll not be the end, as Cotton is laying currently and was intermittently clucking yesterday. Happy days!
Rusty did the same, straight out of broody into the moult. I know seramas are supposed to moult a little all year round but they seem to have a bigger moult at this time of year. Rusty is shedding her long wing and tail feathers. Freckles hasn’t laid for a week now either although she isn’t showing signs of moulting yet. Apricot laid this morning so it seems down to just the three amigos for now. I am so glad that I only have one broody at a time so far.
