No tail feathers left to shake.

This is a 60 day old chick.

Salt and Pepper is such a great mother they are all still together all the time.



You will notice that Salt and Pepper has lost her tail.  She is in moult and if you think she look ordinary what about Simon.


He has gone from this...

To this...

But with plenty of goodies in his diet over the coming weeks he will quickly return to his usual stunning self.

It's great when the girls stagger their moult so we get fresh eggs right through the year.

Don't ask me why those images are the wrong way around, Blogger won't play fair again today.

To those of you who have requested a wating list form, they will be on their way to you by this weekend. It's kind of a sad time here with lots of deliveries of mini-flocks going to new homes over the past few weeks. However, this Sunday we're expecting 10 super cute bubba chicks -- no, not a special delivery from the Easter Bunny -- a new hatch by one of out best mother hens, all going well photos to come soon!
