For the last couple of days when I have gone to stroke Speckles she has dropped into a squat. She is definitely getting ready to lay. Today she sat in the nest box nearest the chicken shed and was piling pine shavings on to her back.
I really thought she was going to produce her first egg of the year but she later came out with out laying an egg. Even an older girl sometimes needs a bit of practice.

Such an attractive girl.
She is a lovely girl.
Come on Speckles – we want to see that HUGE comb again!! 🙂 xx
Speckles has been in and out of the nest box again this morning. Her comb usually ends up about twice the size it is now. I love seeing it when it’s huge too!
Smoke laid again this morning after a two week break. Marmite has had a three week break so far. Smoke really is a good layer for a serama. xx
