Morning all.
Things are ticking along slowly. Thank you for asking.
Marigold seems to be slowing down a lot and is often seen standing still while nodding off.
She is having trouble keeping her bottom clean and will need another bath today, her poo's are very watery. She is still eating and drinking and her tail is up so i will keep a very close eye on her as i think the growth in her is getting bigger.
Molly should be named Houdini as she is constantly getting into places where she is not allowed ie: where i have reseeded the lawn and digging it up again.
Lily is such a sweetheart and comes running over as soon as she sees me and sounds like she is purring like a cat, i am sure she is trying to talk to me. My OH says i have lost the plot yike*

Hello Sandy.
Thanks for asking. Life is a bit hectic at the moment, but hopefully there is a flicker of light at the end of a very long tunnel.
I have not had the time to spend with the girls as much as i would have liked.
Lily is moulting, she has lost her tail feathers but looks very white now all over, her old feathers are scattered all over my garden!
Marigold is still hanging on but has really slowed up now. She is still eating and drinking but has a constantly dirty rear end. I think her time is getting near as i can't bear to think of her suffering.
As for Molly, well she is just being "Molly".
I am looking for some advice please.
Molly is the only one laying at the moment and that is not every day. I would like to get 3 more girls but the timing is not great what with Marigold not being too well and the problems at home. How late in the year can you still acquire Point-of-Lay girls or will i have to wait until next year. I was thinking about the end of October?
Thanks in advance.
Amber.

Hi Amber I am not sure about point of lay girls, have a look on breeders directory on the side bit and see what they say. I know certain breeds are only available in spring but I am sure rangers and sussex will be for sale. I know one of the local breeders near me has them. I wouldn't worry too much about Marigold's bottie if she is enjoying life still. Gracies is permantely mucky.

Hello all.
Just a quick up date while i have 5 minutes!
All 3 girls are still here. I think Lily and Marigold have stopped moulting now as there is less feathers flying around.
I gave them half of a large marrow this morning. After staring at it suspiciously for a few minutes Lily took the plunge and had a peck closely followed by the other 2. They seem to like the flesh but have discarded the seeds.
I am lucky if i have one egg a day now, this is from Molly, so have been to As*a to buy some. They don't taste as good as Molly's even though they are free range.
I have decided not to get any more girls until the spring as i don't want to upset Marigold at the moment and i don't think i will have enough time to intergrate them properly.
Hope every ones girls and boys are well.
Amber.

Oh Amber, I just read your news. How terribly sad for you. I know you know it was better for Marigold, but it's still hard even knowing it was the right thing to do. Marigolds time had come, and you gave her a lovely life in the time she had.

{hug} {hug} for you because I reckon you need them right now
