I recently managed to get some even better shots of the five amigos perching together, this time, above the other ladder. I decided to use two of these photos to update my “History of the flock part three” (above the title). I had included photos of the amigos when we got them at about three months old. Now I have added the photos of them all grown up at about six months old.
The amigos when we first got them

And again in a slightly different order
I said recently that Vanilla has changed colour and has much more gold on her now. I now realise that Spangle has changed too and has much more white on her. I think she has got prettier. I like seeing more white as it show cases the dark feathers and she no longer looks like a turn stone.
If you move between the first and second photo you can see the changes in these two girls. They have all grown into beautiful girls.

Again such colourful girls, very nice photos.
I was quite pleased with these photos because getting all five girls to look up at the same time is never easy. Usually one of them is preening or, as in the first photo Salmon, is pecking at the branch. They have grown up since that first photo.
Beautiful girls! xx
Thank you. I agree but then I am biased! xx
Looking really lovely. Good news here: I now have 3 back in lay after the moult and Butterscotch laid her first egg yesterday – very small, but no blood. Unfortunately, all my current layers are silkie/silkie crosses, so we know what to expect in a couple of weeks!
That is good news and well done to Butterscotch. I know what you mean about the silkie/ broodies though. Ebony and Flame are still laying and Cinnamon is laying once a week. Dandelion stopped at the end of October last year so I think this year is the same and I don’t expect her to lay again until spring.
