Poor old Nugget died during the night. Another case of being egg bound we think. We recognised the signs early yesterday evening when we let this girls out for a bit of free-ranging and did everything we could to get her to lay the egg but to no avail. We're pretty sure we've got the feeding/watering regime pretty well sorted so the only thing we can put it down to is a hereditary thing. Paprika and Nugget were from the second batch we bought and were presumably from the same clutch. The other three are absolutely fine and have all produced eggs today. We're really down in the dumps about the whole thing and it's another sad day at Quincewood Farm.
Hopefully there will be some good news at some point this year!
