Dust bathing

After mentioning worrying about Sugar’s quality of life, today she was dust bathing with Snow. It’s the first time I have seen her dust bathing for ages. I think the recent cold weather was having an effect on her. It was heart warming to see her dust bathing.

Sugar is on the left. Sugar and Snow are often together, they often perch on the ladder together and seem to have formed a little alliance. It’s funny because they also look quite similar.

And Autumn

Again this shows how improved Autumn’s legs and feet are although she has the palest comb I think I have ever seen. She seems fine though and I am so pleased to see her legs and feet back to normal. It will be interesting to compare her comb when it’s red again assuming she will start laying again in spring.

It’s lovely seeing the girls dust bathing. Dust bathing girls are happy girls.
