Over the past few days we noticed a couple of

of our frizzle girls appear to have increased

red faces, today, I looked out

of the window and to my shock saw Rhubster

our Light Sussex cockerel mm how can we put it,

well he was on top of one of our girls!

It was the first time I'd actually seen this so it was

a bit of a surprise to me let alone our frizzle

 

I had said to OH yesterday that as the girls faces were quite

red maybe we would see some eggs soon - they are

around 22 weeks and with what I saw today wondered

if that was just a coincidence or could that be a sign too?

The red faces are a sign of maturity and eggs will not be far off

 

What is more telling is that the hen (hopefully) crouched as the cockerel approached her so thats an even bigger hint that eggs are imminent

Thanks Redwing, we'll be keeping a close eye on developments
