This is the first year we have raised Rhode Island Reds and Americannas. Without artificial light or heat. they both laid throughout the winter. We keep track of a running 7 day average. During the winter the Rhode Island reds averaged 5.13 eggs a day, and their current output is 7 per day...
I am retired and in the process of trying to set up a little hobby farm. My wife and I plan to raise chickens for eggs and meat. We also want to raise goats and sheep. We live in Arenac county, about a mile south of Ogemaw county line.
