One of our four remaining hens, Mab, is a Speckledy.
It was difficult to get a decent photograph of her because she kept ruffling her feathers and charging anything that moved. She is in a bit of a frustrated grump at the moment.
Every once in a while Mab, aka Queen Mab, will withdraw herself from the rest of the small flock. She goes into hiding and with a whole wood, even a small wood, to hide in, she is not easy to find.
Apparently, Speckledy's are a little prone to going broody. None of our other hens have ever shown any inclination to do this, thank goodness.
She disappeared again a few days ago and was eventually found yesterday.
Her makeshift nest contained , not eggs, but two windfall Bramley's.
