Blog posts have been a bit thin on the ground lately. It’s been a combination of lots of work and family stuff going on and not much happening in the chicken run.
No news from the chicken run is actually a good thing and I just haven’t had much time to take photographs but to prove that the girls are all okay here are a couple of group photos that I took this morning.
The girls perch together
Combs are getting redder
The flock is so together. I look out of the window and often see the whole group in one spot then in another spot. They do everything together. They are a really close flock which is so lovely to see.
It’s also been very cold and frosty but the girls seem to be managing it okay. The moulting has slowed to me picking up just a few feathers a day and their combs seem to be getting redder.
I do believe this is the happiest and most harmonious flock I have had yet. I would love to get more little girls when the better weather arrives but it will risk rocking their world a little.

Speckles with her chicks – soooo sweet!! 🙂 xx
Speckles is still firmly in mother hen role with the little girls. She is often surrounded by them and looking at them like she is in the bottom photo. Cinnamon is never far from her and if Speckles is on top of the little shelter Cinnamon will always follow her up there. Cinnamon always roosts under Speckles wing. They are more like mum and chick than any real mum and chick would be after all this time. xx
Aw! Happy girls and happy mama! It is such a blessing when everything is going smoothly.
It is a joy to have a happy, harmonious flock. I am afraid to get too carried away and jinx it but it is all going very well at the moment.
So pleased to see them all together looking well.
It is lovely seeing a happy flock.
I know I’ve said this before but Emeralds feathers look just fantastic.
I have always thought that she is a beautiful looking girl.
I think it’s amazing how close they are. Great pictures.
I must admit that I love their closeness.
All so peaceful – just what you need, after the dramas of the latter part of 2017!
It is nice to have a peaceful, calm flock.
Ah, peace and harmony. What more could you ask for.
You are right, what more can we ask for. We never know what is round the corner but we must make the most of these peaceful moments. x
