I found my skyline, Blossom, who I only got on mothers day dead in the run this morning. I know we dont have favourites but if we did....
I was very surprised, out of the two I got, Cherry stopped laying 2 weeks ago, just like that. She had a couple of days of looking miserable, couple of nights in the kitchen, seems to be ok now, although she's very quiet because she's bottom of the pecking order, but Blossom seemed absolutely fine.
I feel awful because when I went to shut the run each night, a couple of times cherry and blossom were both roosting on a perch in the run. I shoved them in the house (pop hole stays open) and sometimes they'd stay and sometimes they'd come back out.
Last night they were both out and I thought to myself, if they went to be out, they will be out, despite me pushing them in the house so I left them.
I didnt realise it was going to be so cold last night, do you think its my fault and I should have put them in and closed the hole? Blossom was so sweet, the only chicken Ive had that didnt mind sitting on my knee and being stroked
Then again Im wondering if I got a sickly pair, at the place I got them from, they pick them for you, you dont see where they are coming from or get to choose although its apparently got a good reputation. I have no idea why Cherry has stopped laying, I miss my little green eggs.
