I feel like I haven’t updated on the chooks for so
long which was one of the reasons I started the blog. The girls are
blooming and after a few months of chicken broodiness all are healthy
and happy. Murphy (the black chook) has been worrying us after stopping
laying some months back and started staying in the nesting box. It’s
really worrying when chooks become broody as they can stop eating and
drinking as they just want to sit on the eggs, luckily she has got
through it though and is now back in the gang and hanging out with the
girls again. Sadly we had to cut her nails yesterday and when doing so
her nail fell off (just due mud stuck on it) so then had to carry out
pet surgery in the garden, she is all happy today though and it seems
Sam and I veterinary skills worked. Were only getting one egg a day at
the moment as the weather is cooling down, hopefully Mavis will
withstand the cold and keep us stocked with eggs through to summer.
