1 out of 6. The leghorn is the only one laying. The orps, black stars and ee stopped in Dec. Then they started molting. They sure picked a bad time for it. Since then we had 2 hard freezes in Dec. and another is due tonight. And this is sunny Fl.???
Here it is, the end of the day, and we got only 3 out of 11. At this rate, we'll have only 9 or 10 by the time we get them to the incubator on Saturday.
I was getting 2 to 3 a day from 8 hens but I stopped giving them cracked corn last week and am feeding them only layer crumbles now. I am now getting 5 a day. I thought they slacked off laying because of the cold weather but now I think it was because of the cracked corn. We are having the coldest temps. that I remember in years.
