We are just about to start using lights! I am going to check my gals as Parront indicated- I just need my husband on board to help because this is new to me. Sounds pretty straight forward though
I plan on breeding my silkies- the two white ones are hens and two black ones are my 2/3 Roos.
Yes- the lack of eggs is making my chickens look more delicious by the day
Thanks.
I live in Alaska so I do believe I'm expecting a molt. I'm definitely not anywhere near a gallon a day, maybe closer to 1/2 gallon but we haven't seen any feather pluckers.
Thanks for the advice. I will wait!
where to begin... I have a flock of 20 including a turkey, a duck and 3 roos.
Of my hens:
4 should have started laying a month ago (and I have recently started seeing small new eggs)
3 are too young to lay,
2 should be laying within the next month
6 are possible old birds who were laying...
