Had a 5 egg day the other day, then a string of 7 2 days in a row, and 8 today, from 8 hens. I finally got to visit with them outside a little the other evening. Between the weather and my crazy schedule lately, I hadn't been paying them much attention. Maybe thats why I got 8 eggs today, lol...
5/8. Could have been more, one broken egg for sure. I thought son opened the coup, busy morning, didn't get to check on them until after lunch. If the run is closed, I usually end up with a broken egg :/. Always in the same box. I think Ding Bat chicken does it, there was not blueish green egg...
I've been getting 7/8 most days, though today was only 6 I think. Sometimes I lose count when my son collects. I think I got 7 5 days in a row this week.
6 Mon., 8 yesterday, 6 today. Out of 8 hens. I broke one today, its shell was a tiny bit thinner than usual. Looks like I need to give them a little more layer feed. They weren't eating quite as much when it was really cold, it seemed.
Crazy Pennsylvania weather...... High of 25 Monday, 50's Tues. and Wed. highs in the 20's tomorrow, even colder after that. I let them out for a while today, and they got a little wet. Hope they are dry before the freezing temps hit tomorrow morn. I threw extra straw in. I do feel confident they...
Mine weren't too excited about coming out today, its still cold. Lured 5 out of 8 out of the coop. The other three just stood in the run yelling at me, lol. It's covered and not as snowy.
Half of mine came out today and decided to hang out under the deck. The other four weren't too interested in coming out of the coop. Wasn't hard to get them back in.
I opened the run, they were in and out of it part of the day, mostly in the coop. I have it partially covered. I changed out the 40 watt to a 60 bulb for the light, could feel a little heat off of it, so I turned it on during the day. We vase lined their combs yesterday evening, but not today...
