For the first time this year we have six out of nine girls laying and out of those six, five laid today giving us our first, five egg day, this year.
Sugar came back into lay today after a two week break and laid a normal egg. Storm came back into lay yesterday after a three week break and laid again today. Gold came back into lay a week ago. Cloud was the only one of the six who didn’t lay today but she did lay yesterday. Snow is laying well and Dot has always been a good layer.
From left to right we have Dot’s egg then Gold’s egg then Storm’s egg then Sugar’s egg then Snow’s egg arranged in size order from largest to smallest.
The non layers are Mango who is molting quite heavily, Red who hasn’t started yet and Autumn who laid through the winter then stopped.
Well done girls! Our eggs have been given a boost today and very lovely they all are.

Great news – quite an achievement, when moulting season has already started. Especially pleased for Sugar who, despite all the concerns, is keeping going. Enjoy!
Sugar continues to surprise me. I was also surprised Storm is back in lay as she has only one tail feather left. I think hers must be a partial molt. She never seems to look as bad as the others. I think she molts a bit at a time.
How nice to have all these lovely eggs.
It is lovely. The following day we only got one egg from Snow but today we have had four from Storm, Sugar, Gold and Dot.
