Thank you so very much for your feedback. We let them roam the yard, for a couple of hours, each day. They get some sunlight that way. I feel much better. Thanks again.
Hello. My wife and I just started raising chickens this year. We have 2 small boys who help us with the flock. Hours of entertainment. We just joined BYC and are very excited to learn new and exciting things about our chickens.
My Pullets are 17 weeks old. No eggs yet. I have 8 different breeds. The run and brooder are in the shade. They get sunlight, but not direct sun. Do they require the direct sun in order to lay at their full potential?
