17 chickens
Crazy Chicken Math
My hens are still laying and yes I have come across a few frozen cracked eggs so far this winter, It has been down right cold down to -14 at night and that does not take in to consideration of wind chill. I have been giving them fresh daily greens, some bread, freeze dried meal worms, sun flower seeds, warm oat meal and the regular layer pellets. I have put two red heat lights in the coop nailed to the beams so they can not knock it down and catch fire. I have added deep pine shavings in the nesting boxes and around them for warmth.
At my local grocery store they see me come in every other day buying fresh produce for my chickens and picking up a few extra little things for them like the oat meal. I have been taking fresh home made warm bread out to them and put it in the coop boy how they love that warm bread.
I have 16 hens and I am getting 14-16 eggs a day and lots of calls from customers wanting eggs, I even have a waiting list for them.
I love my chickens and they give me great joy as pets so I pamper them!
