    Amberlink question??

    We got Amberlinks last year, and they are wonderful egg producers; all 6 of them lay and average of 6 eggs a week. Ours are white, with just a little brown on them.

    Which Would B The Better Egg "Machine"?

    We got Amber Links from Tractor Supply, and they are by far the best layers we have, we only have 5 of this breed, but they lay almost every day, probably 28 out 30 days.

    Anybody heard from Tractor Supply, about Chick Days ?

    It just means that "Chick Days" officially starts on the 27th;; does not mean every store will have chicks that day

    Why would hen suddenly stopped laying in the nest boxes?

    How often do you change or clean the boxes;; We have seen some of ours will not lay in a box, if there is a mess from another broken egg; as soon as we change the cardboard, and hay, they go right back to laying in the box.

    A quick question, please

    Amy, we do sell some eggs, for $2 a dozen,, and just for information;; We had been getting 3 to 5 eggs a day, ( from 15 hens) and after only 2 nights with the light on,, we got 8 today;; but we decided to disconect the light anyway.

    A quick question, please

    thanks everyone for the replies; Amy; I read your link;; I think I will just let nature take it's course; I will take the light out tomorrow, don't want to wait several weeks to see any increase in egg production; We still get more than we can eat now; We will let the hens get some rest from laying.

    A quick question, please

    Amy;; Last night was the first time ;; just put the light in the coup last night;; Thanks for the reply;; I had no idea if it would be a couple of days before there was a difference, or if it would take a long time.. I set mine to come on around 6 pm, and go off at 10 pm;; Wonder which is...

    A quick question, please

    Last winter, our chickens never slacked off with the eggs laying;; This is their second winter, and they are molting, for a couple of months, plus the shorter hours;; I was reluctant to add artificial lighting, but I did it last night for the first time;; Now, my question;; how long will it be...

    Baby ducks and chicks TOGETHER?

    yes; I've done it two years in a row; They can eat the same food, and the ducks will grow much faster than the chicks, and will be bigger than they are in a couple of weeks. Good luck
