    I average 2 olive and 2 blue eggs each day. I only have 1 Cream Legbar pullet so that means one of the EE's is laying blue. Susan

    I have a few EE's laying olive eggs with a Crested Cream Legbar roo (they lay blue). I also have an EE laying blue.

    Is it okay for chickens to eat whole apples or should they be cored so they don't eat the seeds?

    I cleaned out all the poop and put in fresh shavings before I shut them in for the night. The heated water is outside here also. It was 5 here this morning (Saturday morning it was -5, and yesterday 54).

    So on the topic of frostbite - what options are there if they get frostbite on their combs? I read if it turns black it needs to be surgically removed since it's gangrene. I don't know if any vets in CT do that?

    We added lights and went from a low of 8 eggs to up to 2 dozen a day! I think they're set to go on from 5:30-8:00am and then 4:00-9:30pm. Did you open that first egg yet? Sorta looks like a double-yoker. Susan
