NOt Laying Eggs?!
I used a light for a while, but still didn't get any eggs. They moulted in September. Our weather is warming up a little now, so I will see how things go. If they don't start laying by the end of Feb., then maybe I'll buy some local hens and start over. Thanks, y'all!- Poultrypicker
