Sooty

on the run to see if I have food. She is stretching her legs as she is broody and stays in the hut all day trying to incubate her china egg.

Another hen down today as Dusty died, she had not been very well, it's often hard to tell.  I have 5 left but she was one of the more friendly hens. She was a hybrid brown, bred for egg laying, in my experience they often don't last long, she was 3 and a half. In the commercial world they are killed at 18 months. Something wrong with her digestive system or maybe her egg laying system, she has not laid for a few months. She was ill a month ago and recovered but this time not.

I drove KK to Oban today for his eye test for the MOD, another tick in the box for him.
