I have slackers. I got 2 out of 9 today. I'll be going out after dinner to wave the frying pan and make a few pointed remarks about recipes and my love of cooking.
Yesterday was a nice day and about 35* so I cleaned out the coop - new bedding, everything fresh and clean. This is how they thank me? I was getting 5 or 6 a day and I spend an hour out there cleaning and talking to them and all I get is the stink eye in return!
19/35 today thought I was going to get my usual 20 but the last hen on the nest was either just making a practice run for later or just in the nest resting this evening,
I got 5 out of 9 again today. My friend that put a dozen of my eggs in an incubator to practice with said today that two of the eggs were hatching. What fun!
8/18 That is down a little from the last few days but it was the last of several days of cold snowy weather. On the bright side they are getting bigger!
