In no particular order as once again I am going to put them on in the order that I took them.
Snow is so different from Snowflake before her. She is prettier, quieter and friendlier. She also lays tiny eggs compared to Snowflake’s rather large eggs which were probably her downfall. I am so glad I decided to give a chabo another go as Snow is a lovely girl.
Gold looks like this every summer. It is as if she has an explosion of under feathers at the base of her tail but other than that she looks really good.
I have to have two photos of Sugar. When she is up and about she looks the picture of health but she still spends ninety percent of her day just sitting like the first photo. I had to wait for my chance to catch Sugar on the move. But she has been like this for two years now so whatever her problem is she is managing to live to with it. She is now getting her eggs laid easily too and with good shells.
Red is still looking some way off laying yet. Her comb is still small compared to Autumn’s but her face is red. Red is six months old now but she seems to be maturing slowly.
Autumn continues to sit in the nest box each day but without laying. She laid from October until the first of February and hasn’t laid since. We do seem to get the anomaly’s.
Storm continues to lay despite losing a few feathers including some tail feathers. She is looking pretty much back to normal now though.
Mango and Cloud continue to do everything together and that includes molting together. They are full of pins so they will soon look beautiful again.
Both Gold and Sugar are now through their broody spell and at the moment Snow and Storm are our only egg layers.
Gold and Sugar usually start laying again after a two week break and sometime over the next month or two Red should start laying. As I always say eggs are a bonus and as long as the girls stay healthy I am happy.
Sugar is now the only girl in our flock that isn’t a pipinchick girl. So I thought I would just mention that I have added pipinchick to the links on my side bar should any one wish to have a look.

Lovely pictures of lovely girls.
They are looking lovely apart from the two molting girls looking a bit tatty.
Some lovely pictures, Carol. You are right that Red still looks weeks away from laying – by the same token, Autumn looks as if she should be laying. They are puzzling, our girls. I’ll take some interest in looking at the new link; unfortunately, few people have your resilience and tenacity to keep blogging – so pleased that you do!
They are puzzling at times. Storm has been in the nest box without laying for the last few days so may also be finished laying. She stopped in July the year before last and in August last year. The game girls have a short season. That will leave us with just Snow laying.
Thank you for your comment about my blogging. It means a lot to me. It also means a lot to me that you have followed me so faithfully.
