My egg laying usually decreases right about now every year. Here in southeast texas, its been 98-105 degrees every day for quite awhile, I always assumed the heat eventually gets to them and they slow down egg production. For me, it usually picks back up in September sometime.
I understand the possibility that they will go in a pot. The only reason they aren't in my pot is my wife won't have it, so I am offering them for free, to someone willing to pick them up. If they want them for pets, thats fine, if not, thats fine too.
I have been trying to trade these 2 roos for 1 pullet, but there have been no takers....soooo
I am offering these 2 roos for free.
One is a white leghorn and the other is a production red. They are both 5 weeks old, and are very "roostery"
I am in Dickinson TX

It's definitely a regional thing! I live on the outskirts of houston and there are 4 wal-marts within driving distance. The 2 closest to houston carry no livestock items, and the 2 further out have not only chicken feed, but litter, horse feed, sheep feed and other things too.
I use one of those for homebrewing beer. It keeps temps to within 1 degree consistently. It's a bit pricey but worth the money, you will never need another one.
*edit: If you aren't familiar with wiring, I'd get the pre-wired one for $75
