Autumn has turned the corner

I think at last Autumn is on the mend. I have been using another spray on her each evening. Once she is perched at bedtime it’s easy to lift her and spray her legs and feet. I have been using “healthy legs and feet”. It says it cleanses bacteria, fungi and all irritants. I have a huge amount of sprays in my store cabinet at the moment!

Autumn hasn’t pecked any new spots over the last few days and is healing. She is back to eating normally and dust bathing and walking better. It’s really difficult to get a photo of her feet because she is now so wary of me picking her up. This was the best I could get, while she was distracted by the spinach.

In other news Storm went broody three days ago. She had laid eight eggs in thirteen days. Luckily she gives up being broody after one day of being kept out of the nest box. Sugar is also through with being broody.

We are now back to just one egg layer, that being Snow, layer of the tiny torpedo shaped eggs. Snow is a month older than Red and has been laying for three months.

Red is now seven months old and still doesn’t look ready to start laying. I did a bit of research and it says that wyndottes are slow to mature and often late to start laying but are good layers when they start and sometimes lay through winter. Time will tell.
