Evening all.
Sitting with a homemade knitted woollen blanket on my legs, the fire is lit and I have a neck buff, 2 layers and tracksuit, woolly socks and boots on. Just about warm enough. Bed has winter quilt on, autumn quilt on lower half to keep my legs warm and another blanket just over my legs to as extra. Expecting another frost overnight. clear skies now, and due to be clear in the morning as well.

my chooks had me worried recently. They haven't been laying. thought the change in routine (an issue with rosellas eating the layers mix I have been putting out in the self feeder left me removing it and feeding them twice a day) had upset them. My pullet that had lain 1 egg hadn't lain any more eggs and my chook had stopped laying on her 2 days on 2 days off schedule... but they had been spending a lot of time under the house, so with an hour spare this morning, we crawled underneath the house and my OH found a nest with 4 brown eggs and 2 blue eggs in it. Unsure what to do, we have filled the depression (natural one) in with large rumble and covered it with some other debris and went to put 1 brown and 1 blue egg into the (newly larger) nesting boxes in the chook house only to find another blue egg in the nesting boxes in there. The black one had lain whilst we were under the house! So instead of the 4 eggs we had to start off with in the fridge (plus the dozen we purchased yesterday because we thought they were not 'happy') we now have 11 eggs of theirs and another 12 purchased ones. I'm expecting another 2 tomorrow as well. I could be having a lot of eggs to eat for breakfast, lunch and evening meal for many weeks to come!
On the bright side of things, all I have to do now is get the new chook to lay in the nest boxes rather than under the house. Another change in routing is going to happen tomorrow. They won't be let out of the outer run until much later in the day.

The blue and great tits who visit my garden are more interested in the seed then the suet blocks I put out, whereas the long-tailed tits, who swarm all over the suet, haven't turned up for a few weeks. They usually go quiet once the chicks have left the nest but turn up again in late autumn or winter.

My visiting tit loves the suet blocks, I've just filled up everything again and it was there within minutes.

I've got seed, Niger seed and peanuts..... frequented by goldfinch, chaffinch, greenfinch, sparrows, pigeons and occasionally robin and wren. The last time I tried suet balls they were destroyed by crows.!
