Well things seem to be improving, I checked the nest boxes tonight and every nest has either eggs or chicks.

Eggs = 30

Chicks = 14, made up of the following:-

8 x Light backs

2 x CFW

2 x Split Grey Cheek

1 x Grey Cheek

1 x Normal

I also recently remove ten young birds to a flight cage, comprising of CFW, Light Backs and Normal’s.

It would seem that the recent spell of rain has encourages the birds to nest.

There’s also a number of surprises coming from the aviary which I didn’t expect, one of which is an almost pure white grey cheek hen, I’ll be using this hen as a stock bird for next year.
