thechickenkeeper Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi there keepers, it appears are girls are drying up, I feel for our chicken sitter who has only had the pleasure of two eggs all week, not much of return for 5 days caring for the girls, we knew Nellie had stopped before we left, due we now realise to moulting, big pile of Nellie feathers under the deck. As we have been away for 5 days , I have no idea if they have moved nest again, or just gone on strike due to the re-introduction of the budget pellets? We just didn’t have the time to drive out to the rural farm shop for the tastier ones. I shall have to observe them in the morning to see what’s going on, other than that nothing to report really, I have a nice tan after 5 days in the sun in the north of the north island, a beautiful spot called Mangawhai Heads, but you don’t want to hear about me, so I shall report on the girls as soon as i know what ’s going on.

Plum Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Guess they missed you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 They might have done. When we went away for a week last year my MIL reported very few eggs and they'd all been laying every day. When we come back it was a bit sporadic for the week but then settled down to an egg every day from each again. I'm convinced it was because they missed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Glad to hear you had a nice time ( - we have snow forecast for the next 3 days ). Mine once went on a mini-strike when we were away for a week - obviously it was because they missed their mum ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
