On my last trip I did not get one Mosquito bite at the farm. The dry season is great that way.
the t shirt looks greatWhoa, I didn't realise it had been so long since I did an update!
Life has been going well, I still log in daily for my poultry fix, but not a great deal has changed of late.
My Cocobeach poultry shirt arrived
none of the 'middle' girls are laying yet, they are now nearly 21 weeks old. Marrie the Maran and Summer the Welsummer are very close. Both have bright red faces, widening of the pelvic bones. Marrie squatted yesterday and all four of them seem REALLY interested in pulling the stuffing out of teh nest boxes.
Not long until we see a brown egg appear I think!
Would be nice, as it seems the older girls are either going into or just coming out of a molt. Our egg count is down to 2-3 a day from 8 layers, sometimes it's 0-1. Just enough to keep out family in supply, but kind of dismal considering we are feeding 13 girls hahahaha
Sav the rooster is still here, and going well. I have seen him try have his way a couple of times, but he is still a bit awkward. I have noticed a big drop off in Luna's 'moaning'. At first I thought it was just her egg song and way to complain about the heat, but since our cockerels started to crow she has taken a back seat. Maybe the moaning was more than an egg song?!
The little rocks are not so little now, sizing up nicely and are now for nearly 15 weeks. I am yet to look up when that breed tends to come into lay but they still look a fair way off.
My concern over Rosie seems to be for nothing. She still has a wobbly crop late afternoon, but it's small and firm in the morning so I think it may just be her. It's been that way for a few weeks now and she seems just fine. Good news, but like always I will keep an eye on her.
Hope you are all keeping well.
