I think the chickens are enjoying this month more than I am! They are loving the start of greenery and more daylight. Ava is still trying to lay eggs, but today she laid an egg and then broke the incredibly thin shell when she sat back down on it. Poor thing - after all that work too! Grace laid another egg, as per usual, and tomorrow I will be doing another egg drop to my neighbours as I'm overloaded again.
Ken is happily within the flock again. I keep nearly treading on her as she has a habit of hanging round my feet and she's so tiny I don't see her. She seems to be becoming slightly less aggressive towards my bantam cockerel, Barnaby, which is good news. He was originally bought to be her 'mate', but till now she's either ignored him or attacked him. He's young, bless, and I think she's teaching him how to treat her properly - like the true lady she is.
